If I start Xvnc before I start a normal X session on my Linux system, I get an error message suggesting suspicious ownership of the .X11-unix directory. Since I run Xvnc as a normal user, that directory belongs to me. So I tried to set uid and gid to root for Xvnc so it runs as root. Then when it creates the directory it sets the mode to 444 and X says it has suspicious permissions. Each time X gives up and I can't bring X up unless I shutdown Xvnc, bring up X and then shut it down. I can't run xdm because for some reason when I log off, the system hangs up tighter than a drum. I want to start Xvnc at boot time and pretty much leave it running. I also would like to occasionally bring X up on the console. Is there a suggested fix for this problem? THanks, Jim. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send a message with the line: unsubscribe vnc-list to [EMAIL PROTECTED] See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
