Logging and "-inetd"

[Björn Persson]

When XVNC is started with the "-inetd" parameter it closes the standard error 
stream and tries to write log messages to a file in /usr/adm. This is not so 
good, because XVNC should preferably be run as an unprivileged user and 
normally only Root can write in the /usr tree. Besides, my Redhat system 
doesn't even have a /usr/adm directory.

I suppose there is a reason why the system logger isn't used, so I'd like to 
suggest an option to provide the path to a log file on the command line. 
Alternatively, if it's possible to compare file descriptors, XVNC could leave 
standard error open if it's different from standard in and standard out, so 
that it could be run from a wrapper that redirects standard error to a file.
