Hi ygemici, thanks for the reply with link.

I tried free edition of vncserver from realvnc and did following.

downloaded vnc-4_1_3-x86_linux[1].tar.gz from realvnc and winscp'ed to fedora box and untar it with following command

Code:

tar -zxvf vnc-4_1_3-x86_linux[1].tar.gz

this created a dir called "vnc-4_1_3-x86_linux[1]"
cd to that dir and ./vncinstall /usr/local/bin
this copied vncserver, vncpasswd,vncconfig etc files to /usr/local/bin
cd to /usr/local/bin and then the following

Code:

[root@testbox bin]# ./vncserver
You will require a password to access your desktops.
Password:
Verify:
xauth: creating new authority file /root/.Xauthority
New testbox.local:1 (root)' desktop is testbox.local:1
Creating default startup script /root/.vnc/xstartup
Starting applications specified in /root/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /root/.vnc/testbox.local:1.log
[root@testbox bin]# echo $?
0

But i haven't found /etc/sysconfig/vncservers file to edit.
And rpm -qa |grep vnc doesnt show the installed rpm.
(But it does created .vnc directory in /root )
What went wrong?
