Oh dear, now my thoughts are running away with me... What is to say that this won't work.
in services.inetd I oculd put a number of lines for the web part of VNC. Something like... vnc-800x600x8 5951/tcp (in fact, I already have this line and similar lines.) In the vncserver.inetd I could have something like... vnc-800x600x8 stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/local/bin/Xvnc Xvnc :99 -httpd /usr/share/vnc/classes -httpport 8080 -query localhost -once -geometry 800x600 -depth 8 (all on one line) and possibly substituting the $ values required by the old index.vnc. I would have one line for each httpd that I need to serve. (for RH6.2 I would change /usr/share/vnc/classes to suit the path I have mentioned) Can anyone help me to get this right. I am familiar with linux, but far from an expert. I think in theory, this should all work. I just think we need to enhance it, so that it will work the same way. Could someone explain what :99 does?
