Hey, all! First, I'm a newcomer to the list, but I discovered VNC almost a year ago. Now, though, I'm having a problem with one of the more advanced features of VNC, namely the -inetd option. As I describe this, though, keep in mind that it took me about half an hour to get all of this working at my office. Unfortunately, it's at my home that this is valuable to me. The system at my office is a Debian system running XFree86 v3.?.?. The system at my home is a Slakware system running XFree86 v4. I am trying to set up VNC to run out of inetd and use GDM for user logins. I have GDM working correctly on display :0, and VNC launches correctly from port 5950, but for some unknown reason, the X session that VNC creates is unwilling to give permission for *anything*, even programs running as root or as the user gdm, to run. In fact, the actual message I get runs along the lines of: Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect. So, does anyone know how I can get around this? I'd like to do it without compromising security since I want to be able to access my system this way from the internet. Thanks, all! ===== Mark S. P.
