OK, I was definitely on the wrong track. I am a newbie so I was thinking in Windows terms.

The first VNC session starts as display #1 (if not higher), so it's on 5901. On my system, the control files go in each user's home directory (~/.vnc/). The key file is xstartup. Mine is used to start an X session showing the normal Fedora desktop. ---------------- [root .vnc]# cat xstartup #!/bin/sh # Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop: # unset SESSION_MANAGER # exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc [ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey vncconfig -iconic & xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & # twm & exec gnome-session & ----------------- To get VNCserver working, each user needs to type VNCserver once at a console session. Users are assigned sessions (and ports/display numbers) in /etc/sysconfig/vncservers: --------------------- # more /etc/sysconfig/vncservers # The VNCSERVERS variable is a list of display:user pairs. # # Uncomment the line below to start a VNC server on display :1 # as my 'myusername' (adjust this to your own). You will also # need to set a VNC password; run 'man vncpasswd' to see how # to do that. # # DO NOT RUN THIS SERVICE if your local area network is # untrusted! For a secure way of using VNC, see # <URL:http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/sshvnc.html>. VNCSERVERS="1:sdstern" ------------------ Therefore, when connecting as "sdstern", I connect on port 5901. On Windows, that means I use "linuxsystem:1" as the address of the remote computer. -- Steve -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
