Starting VNC through inetd

Hello guys (again!),

Wondering if you could give me a hand with this...

Now that I have managed to get VNC working, I would like to have the service started automatically when someone tries to connect to the box. At the moment, I'm having to start vncserver manually.

I have been playing around with the services and inetd.conf files and have made these changes:-

On /etc/services I added the line:-
vnc 5900/tcp

On /etc/inetd.conf I added:-
vnc stream tcp nowait nobody /opt/freeware/bin/Xvnc

I have also amended the file /etc/dt/config/Xaccess to allow everyone in my domain access to the box (added line: *.mydomain.com)

I have also made sure dtsrc is running by issuing command: lssrc -a | grep dt - the command shows dtsrc as active) as per docummentation I found on the net.

The problem I'm having now is that when I try to connect with vncviewer, I'm getting error: The connection closed unexpectedly. Do you wish to attempt to reconnect to SERVER:1?

It looks like the service is running but it just doesn't allow me to connect
What do you think the problem could be?

I thought I'd keep things in the same thread as it is all related but I'll create a new one if you guys want!

Thanks

Would you guys know where I can get a copy of 'X11.fnt.fontserver'
Apparently I need to install this fileset for VNC to work

Thanks
