Required: vnc installed on server and client/s
My instructions for gdm on RH 7.3
Edit /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf
[xdmcp]
enable=true
---------------
Edit /etc/services, add
#resolutions you want
vnc-800x600 5900/tcp
vnc-1024x768 5901/tcp
---------------
Create /etc/xinetd.d/vnc-800x600
service vnc-800x600
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = nobody
server = /usr/bin/Xvnc
server_args = :1 -inetd -query localhost -geometry 790x572 -depth 16 -once
-fp unix/:7100
}
Do this for each service you've added. I knocked down the geometry to allow
room for the window border. If you use more than one resolution, increment
the display number in server_args for each. Use :2, :3 etc
---------------
Log out of X and restart. Also restart xinetd. ie. `service xinetd restart`
To check from the server itself, in an Xterm `vncviewer localhost`
If that works, try from a client: `vncviewer <hostname>`
Still working on adding to the wm selection from gdm. There's more covered
in the article that I've skipped, mainly firewall rules and kdm/xdm.
The mag should be available at your favorite Fred Meyers.
