Rick,
There was a change in VNC 4 that broke configurations copied from RH9 and earlier. Check your xinetd.d files. You probably need to add the "-securitytypes none" argument. See the end of this sample file:
[root@server2 xinetd.d]# more vnc-hires
service vnc-hires
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = nobody
server = /usr/bin/Xvnc
server_args = :4 -inetd -query 192.168.0.3 -geometry 1280x1024 -depth 24 -once -fp unix/:7100 -securitytypes none
}

Hello,
I'm wondering if someone can help me. I have been trying for quite a long time now to get a GDM login screen on FC1 through a remove vncviewer (such as "vncviewer <hostname>"). I had this working perfectly on RH8 and RH9. On FC1, I have tried all the steps that I have found dozens of times, yet this still does not work.
Currenlty, I have vnc-server-4.0-0.beta4.3.2 and vnc-4.0-0.beta4.3.2 installed. I have the correct entires in my gdm.conf. I have the correct entries in my /etc/services, and I have the correct service in /etc/xinetd.d. When I pull up the vncviewer, the vncviewer prompts me for a password instead of just giving me the gdm login prompt.
If possible, can someone post the steps that they used to allow remote logins with GDM through a VNC connection? Either I missed something, or this is broke. Many thanks!
