Linux VNC at Boot ?

[cyonkers@intervis.com]

> What do I put in the "/etc/rc.d/rc.local" script?

This is a script that I run in "/etc/rc.d/init.d that runs at boot time
creating vnc sessions for each user on the system. Just substitute
"username1", "username2", etc with the names of users on your
system.

There is probably a better way to do this but hey, I was in a hurry
to make it go.

Cheers,
Clement
