FW: core dump on Digital unix 4.0F

[DorJ@Clal-Ins.co.il]

So how comes Xvnc works for the other servers (same OS same subnet) ?

Also, if the default-display is :0 then do you know a way to use Xvnc
with inetd and open higher displays than :0 ?

Yeah, I think Xvnc's default display is :0, which is what the main X
server on your console would be using.  It would probably work if you
specified a display that is not in use (e.g. "Xvnc :1" which is what the
vncserver script does by default).  Xvnc doesn't actually talk to your
:0 X server.  It is a completely separate X server which sends its
output to VNC viewer(s) rather than to a physical screen.

Hmmm.  Degraded?  How so?  Is this something you've seen before on your
other VNC servers?  Is this one running the same OS version and patch
level as the others?  Is the Xvnc binary copied from another box or was
it compiled locally?
