It works fine, I've done quite a bit logged in (from an SL5 system) as
root (using KDE), and I've just verified that logging in as
summer(twm)
works.
To try with KDE:
[root@potoroo ~]# cat .vnc/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" &
exec startkde
twm &
[root@potoroo ~]#
I have, for xstartup:

xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
twm &
================================================================
I have for /etc/sysconfig/vncserver:

Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list!

================================================================
1) Why am I getting the unix/:7100 error and what is "nil2" ?
a) unimportant
b) A warning.
Is this a problem?
Probably not.
2) When I try to connect using vncviewer on my windows box and
use the entry: linux:5903:3, I get the error:
Failed to connect to server: linux:3
3) Is it possible that I am being firewalled blocked or something?
It's probable.
One other thing. Since I had a heckuva time trying to figure out
how to open the vnc ports using iptables, I opted to use the
firestarter package and open the vnc ports there. I hope this
I've never used firestarter, I do use shorewall.
program does not conflict with the iptables firewall. I have used
this program in FC4 and it worked like a charm.
Is there any public internet between client and server? If not, try with
the firewall turned off.
Who are the other users on your LAN?
