Hello, I am currently testing VNC for producation use at our company. The
goal is to allow Windows users to run remote Unix sessions. I installed vnc
on a Solaris 8 workstation (I'll call it "vnc_serv"), and configured it to use
inetd. Here is the inetd.conf file:
inet.conf:
vnc-1024x768x16 stream tcp nowait nobody /opt/vnc/Xvnc Xvnc -inetd
-broadcast -once -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16
Problem: When I try to connect to the vnc server ("vnc_serv:50") from a
remote Windows client, sometimes the login screens for DIFFERENT Unix (Sun and
SGI) workstations show up! Ones that don't have VNC server running or
installed. How is this possible? I was told it probably has something to do
with xdmcp, and something about an X session being broadcast. Since I don't
know to much about this and haven't found any documentation about this and
VNC, I was hoping someone might know what the problem might be. I cat out the
files I was told were probably involved with this problem below. Thanks!
Andy
