You need to run VNC as a service. I suggest searching the VNC archives, as this has been discussed before. Otherwise try the following (this works on Solaris; don't know about other unix flavours.) :
Add this to your /etc/inetd.conf # VNC vnc-640x480x8 stream tcp nowait root /vncpath/Xvnc Xvnc -inetd -query servername -once -geometry 640x480 -depth 8 vnc-800x600x8 stream tcp nowait root /vncpath/Xvnc Xvnc -inetd -query servername -once -geometry 800x600 -depth 8 vnc-800x600x16 stream tcp nowait root /vncpath/Xvnc Xvnc -inetd -query servername -once -geometry 800x600 -depth 16 vnc-1024x768x16 stream tcp nowait root /vncpath/Xvnc Xvnc -inetd -query servername -once -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16 and this to your /etc/services vnc-640x480x8 5950/tcp vnc-800x600x8 5951/tcp vnc-800x600x16 5952/tcp vnc-1024x768x16 5953/tcp then restart. Each user should get their own session, and log on individually. -----Original Message----- From: Jesse Duke [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 08 February 2002 16:25 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How to make VNC users log in as non-root I'm having a bit of a problem. VNC users always log in as root on the Unix server. How can this be fixed? Will changing the owner of the VNC executable do it? Also, how can you set up VNC so that only a certain IP range is allowed? Also, is it possilble to set up VNC so that each new login uses a different terminal? I've asked this question before, but couldn't figure out how to do it. Many thanks for all of the help. Jesse Duke [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
