from what i understand getting the inetd option working enables you to run
the vncserver as a daemon/service rather than manually launching it from a
shell.
it automagically spawns a vncserver process when it is seeing a connection
on the specified port.
it also lets you vnc into the linux box at a resolution you want.
we use the -inetd option here to keep the server from having one session up
all the time. we connect as we need it, and when we are finished it kills
the server.
one caveat to this is that you cannot share the desktop with others,
meaning that once you are done you can't come back later.

Hi
Finaly I got xvnc running from inetd (thanks to
http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp, please put this
link
in the FAQ).
Here Xvnc is started with the -inetd options. All I can find on this is
"Xvnc is launced by inetd". But what does it realy do? Does it disable
other
options? does it change default settings?
I find the next differences:
- No second access to the same server: using the same port number gives a
new session, using the 590x number where x is the display number gives a
failed connection message.
- No http access to http://machine:580x/ or to http://machine:59xx/
- Once the connection is lost, the session is killed.
Most of the above can be either due to the -inetd option or due to inetd
itself.
Regards
CBee
