>>Er, how do you mean "run it as a service"?
Its selected in the Service configuration or [@>]service vncserver start.
which displays OK but no client connection are possible.
if I do [@>]vncserver as root its does it thing and clients can connect.
What file are the below mentioned options set in?
Took a look at /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd and didn't find any thing for Xvnc.
nothing in /etc/rc.d/init.d/vncserver.
Where does the displaynumber stuff get set as ":0" is the console.
Thanks
