Re: Remote Access XDMCP/VNC

Jack,

What exactly isn't working?

The VNC4-beta server supplied with FC1 needs "-SecurityTypes=none" added to the server_args line in your "service vnc-1024x768" file (along with the geometry parameters, etc) to disable VNC authentication, and use GDM instead. This is new in v4.

See this excellent article for help:

http://www.linux-mag.com/2003-03/guru_01.html (though beware it doesn't have the "-SecurityTypes=none" parameter).

GDM/VNC works great for me.

Hey All,

	I've been trying to set up xdmcp/gdm over vnc for about a week now.  I
think that its a great method for remote access.  However, I seem to
have hit a snag.  Ideally what should happen is that when you start a
vnc session, gdm will load up and allow you to log in.  It doesn't seem
to be working though.  I have already configured xdmcp to accept remote
connections and set up gdm with remote greeter stuff and I also setup an
xinetd script to run Xnvc as follows:

service vnc-1024x768
{
  disable = no
  socket_type = stream
  protocol    = udp
  wait        = no
  user        = nobody
  server      = /usr/bin/Xvnc
  server_args = :1 -inetd -query localhost -geometry 1024x768 -depth 24
-once -fp unix/:7100
}

Anyone have any ideas as to whats going on? Also any other ideas on how
to do remote logins, aside from X forwarding?

Thanks in advance,
Jack
