I'm trying to turn FreeBSD5.4 into a 'terminal server' of sorts, allowing users to VNC in to access various network related utilities. What I'm seeing is a gray screen when connecting into vnc, which I know is indicative of not having a window manager set up. My question is when running xvnc through inetd, I can specify which user to run it as. I've tried using root and nobody, as well as a 'vnc' user which I created. In all cases it seems not to read the ~/.vnc/xstartup file as I expect it would (e.g. /root/.xvnc/xstartup). I've followed various guides to ensure settings are correct but now I'm stu= mped. Various config files are below. Any ideas as to what else I need to change? --=20 /root/.vnc/xstartup: #!/bin/sh [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey vncconfig -iconic & #xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & kdm & --=20 /etc/inetd.conf (relevant line) vnc-1024x768x16 stream tcp nowait root /usr/X11R6/bin/Xvnc Xvnc -inetd -query localhost -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16 -once I have also tried running it with tpcd --=20 /usr/local/share/config/kdm/kdmrc [Xdmcp] # Whether KDM should listen to incoming XDMCP requests. # Default is true Enable=3Dtrue # The UDP port on which KDM should listen for XDMCP requests. Do not change= . # Default is 177 Port=3D177 # File with the private keys of X-terminals. Required for XDM authenticatio= n.
