Yes, there is Such a File or Directory

[Johan Ugander]

Hello VNC ppl!

I'm trying to get the server running on a redhat 6.0 x86 box. kernel 2.2.5.
64 RAM. gig's of HD. root.

Here's my issue...


[root "at" Servix /root]# Xvnc :0
bash: /usr/bin/Xvnc: No such file or directory
[root "at" Servix /root]# /usr/bin/Xvnc :0
bash: /usr/bin/Xvnc: No such file or directory
[root "at" Servix /root]# ls -la /usr/bin/ | grep vnc
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root      1245130 Apr  5 22:44 Xvnc
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root        11433 Apr  5 22:44 vncpasswd
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root        12839 Apr  5 22:44 vncserver
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root        65535 Apr  5 22:44 vncviewer-A

pretty silly, eh?
REMEMBER...This isn't the perl script. I read the faq.
Why won't it run?

running vncserver gives:

xauth: (argv):1:  bad display name "Servix.localdomain:1" in "add" command

New 'X' desktop is Servix.localdomain:1

Starting applications specified in /root/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /root/.vnc/Servix.localdomain:1.log


NOTE: I don't have DNSing setup. This is a closed 1 hub ethernet 
network. We're really talking about telneting going from 10.0.0.3 (my 
mac viewer) to 10.0.0.1 (my linux box).
....and in the log file we find....

sh: /usr/bin/Xvnc: No such file or directory
_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't get address for Servix.localdomain
xrdb: Invalid argument
xrdb: Can't open display 'Servix.localdomain:1'
_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't get address for Servix.localdomain
xsetroot:  unable to open display 'Servix.localdomain:1'
_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't get address for Servix.localdomain
twm:  unable to open display "Servix.localdomain:1"
_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't get address for Servix.localdomain

program as a non-root user or by removing the suid bit on the executable.
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: %s


could anyone help me with this?
When I ps aux, I get nothing X and nothing vnc. I tried having startx 
running through telnet, but I fear I must go downstairs and hook up a 
monitor to this 'headless beast'. say it ain't so! Last time it was 
connected, X ran fine. help?

I tried running a viewer towards it without luck....
