To anyone who can help.

I am trying to get VNC running using the inetd capability and I am having problems. I have VNC running fine when I manually log into the server through FTP or SSH and start it and then start the viewer on my PC.

I have tried a few things I have found on different websites and I have been unable to get it to work. Here are some of the things I have gotten examples from

Here is what I have right now and it is not working.

In my /etc/inetd.cong file I have

vnc3 stream tcp wait [USERNAME] /usr/bin/Xvnc Xvnc -inetd -query 127.0.0.1 -cc 3 -geometry 1265x960 -once securitytypes=none

vnc5 stream tcp wait [UNSERNAME] /usr/bin/Xvnc Xvnc -inetd -query 127.0.0.1 -cc 3 -geometry 1265x960 -once #securitytypes=none

vnc6 stream tcp wait [USERNAME] /usr/bin/Xvnc Xvnc -inetd -query 127.0.0.1 -cc 3 -geometry 1265x960

and in my /etc/services file I have

vnc3 5903/tcp
vnc5 5905/tcp
vnc6 5906/tcp

The main problem I am having is when I use TightVNC (installed on a windowsXP machine) I can login to hostname:6 fine but I get a TightVNC session with desktop labeled hostname:1. Then I close that session and try and reopen the same session hostname:6 I get a session labeled hostname:2. When I try and login using the other 2 methods hostname:3 and hostname:5 nothing happens. By nothing happens it appears the TightVNC is attempting to open the session but doesn't actual open anything. I do not get a failed to connect message.

If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
