Automatically adding a vncserver for every new user

[Glenn Mabbutt]

I don't know about the /etc/passwd part, but I think you're looking for the
"-inetd" option for the rest of it.  Should be in the Xvnc documentation
somewhere.

Hi,

Maybe I am a bit foolish but have just changed from the Windows to Linux.
Hence, I am still a novice when it comes to managing unix/linux systems.

The question is as follows:

I would like to create a vncservice for every user the moment the user is
created on my linux Server.

The password for this user has to be read from the /etc/passwd file and
automatically set to the same, so that there are no maintainance required
either by the sysadm or anybody else.

Is this actually possible (My little knowledge of Linux tells me it "should"
be possible. I am not sure how) ?

If possible, can you please guide me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance,

Cheers
PRamodh
