Note: If this config results in only 1 user being able to connect to each service at any given time, then it may be possible to correct this by removing the ":1" and ":2" from the args above. This needs testing to confirm.

Note: To enable persistent sessions (which has the downside of only enabling 1 login per service), prefix '''-inetd''' with ''':'''''n'' where ''n'' is a number beginning at 1 for the first service, and counting up.

  • Install vnc4server
  • Enable XDMCP:
    • For kdm, edit /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc and change Xdmcp section to:
Enable=true
    • For gdm, edit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf and change xdmcp section to:
Enable=true


  • Add the following lines to /etc/services:
vnc_1024x768             5901/tcp            # VNC (1024x768)
vnc_1280x1024            5902/tcp            # VNC (1280x1024)
vnc_1920x1200            5903/tcp            # VNC (1920x1200)
  • Add the following to /etc/xinetd.d/vnc:
service vnc_1024x768
{
        disable         = no
        socket_type     = stream
        protocol        = tcp
        wait            = no
        user            = nobody
        server          = /usr/bin/Xvnc
        server_args     = -inetd -query localhost -geometry 950x700 -depth 24 -once securitytypes=none
}

service vnc_1280x1024
{
        disable         = no
        socket_type     = stream
        protocol        = tcp
        wait            = no
        user            = nobody
        server          = /usr/bin/Xvnc
        server_args     = -inetd -query localhost -geometry 1260x960 -depth 24 -once securitytypes=none
}

service vnc_1920x1200
{
        disable         = no
        socket_type     = stream
        protocol        = tcp
        wait            = no
        user            = nobody
        server          = /usr/bin/Xvnc
        server_args     = -inetd -query localhost -geometry 1860x1120 -depth 24 -once securitytypes=none
}

Note: To enable persistent sessions (which has the downside of only enabling 1 login per service), prefix -inetd with :n where n is a number beginning at 1 for the first service, and counting up.

  • Restart xinetd
