I just finished getting Xvnc working with inetd on Linux. It took me a lot
of time to get it working right (partly because I was new to xdm). When
things were not completely right, I would see very erratic behaviour. Some
things to check:
I don't see a font path in your inetd.conf entry
did you tell inetd to re-read the file?
does netstat show a LISTEN on port 5950?
Another diagnostic to try: Replace your script with something that just does
some echo's. Start a telnet client against it instead of vnc.
