David, >From my (nerd-ish) view, I wanted to describe all and say it all. Since I needed a webserver, I started describing the apache setup, wich is not needed at all, we have Xvnc, which can do it too. So add to your setup the next steps:
exchange the /usr/share/vnc/classes/index.vnc file with the next file: ------start of new index.vnc file----- <HTML> <TITLE> dhcp login with vnc, no vnc password required </TITLE> <APPLET CODE=vncviewer.class ARCHIVE=vncviewer.jar WIDTH=800 HEIGHT=623> <param name=PORT value=5951> </APPLET> </HTML> ------end of new index.vnc file----- Now start `vncserver`. IF you view it with a vncvierer, you get the normal setup (static session). If you view it with your browser, you get the new login. Otherwise, start `Xvnc :99 -httpd /usr/share/vnc/classes -httpport 8080` and browse to http://<machine>:8080/ and off you go. CBee btw: the above just gets it going. The Xvnc :99... is just used for webserver. Other options can be added to minimize the other usability. > -----Original Message----- > From: David Colliver [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2002 3:08 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Browswer / Java access to Xvnc without the need to start > vncserve r in advance! > > > I am the editor of the page at sourcecodecorner.com.
