Hi Predator: It is possible to allow root to login from any terminal, however this is not recommended because this makes your system vulnerable. If you want to allow it any way use the configuration tool provided with your distribution (e.g. SuSE Linux's configuration tool is yast), DON'T DO IT MANUALLY if you aren't a linux expert. There is an other way to do it (I haven't been able to test it myself). Look at http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/extras.html the item concerning iXvnc, which will lead you to http://www.dei.isep.pt/~andre/extern/ixvcn.htm Regards Daniel "oan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> am 02.02.2001 12:22:07 Bitte antworten an [EMAIL PROTECTED] An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kopie: (Blindkopie: Daniel Jaime Rattey/E/Rbach/Diehl-Mun/DE) Thema: AW: Antwort: AW: problems with vnc for linux [ DIG_ EXT =?iso-8859-1?Q?:Virus_checked=5D_=5BDIG:_Viren_=FCberpr=FCft=5D_=5BDi? = ehl-Mun: Virus checked] [DIG_EXT:Virus checked] [DIG: Viren |berpr|ft] [Diehl-Mun: Virus checked] thnx, it works that far. now can i make linux start the xvnc for the root-user every time it starts? The problem is, that i can't logon to the linux station via telnet using my root-password. That means, every time i want to start a xvnc-server, i would have to go physically to the puter, login... can someone make life easier? predator12345 -----Urspr|ngliche Nachricht----- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Im Auftrag von [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: 02 February 2001 10:30 An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Betreff: Antwort: AW: problems with vnc for linux [DIG_ EXT:Virus checked] [DIG: Viren |berpr|ft] [Diehl-Mun: Virus checked] Hi Predator, with your distribution you got a file Vncviewer (don't take the wrong one starting with lowercase "v"). Use this one as your $HOME/.Xresources (only one "s" and don't forget the dot before the "X").

Otherwise change file access control attributes: chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/*vnc* # (vncpasswd, vncviewer, vncconnect, Xvnc, vncserver) Check then if you have perl installed (e.g. "which perl"), then if you have write access to the "/tmp/.X11-unix" directory. A file "X<session>..." will be placed there. After invoking vncserver twice (the very first time you will be asked to define a password to be used later with the vncviewer) check the file "$HOME/.vnc/<host>:<session>.log" (The exact name will be reported to you). If no error is reported check if Xvnc is running (e.g. "ps -ef | grep -i vnc"). Check last if you can connect to the local host invoking vncviewer <host>:<session>.log All this can be read in the installation guide.
