Windows to Linux window closes, no messages

[Lee Stewart]

Hi...

I have RealVNC on Windows trying to connect to xVNC on Linux, and the 
session apparantly fails, but with no indication why..

On the Windows end I have RealVNC Personal Edition 4.1.2 on Windows 
2000, and it can connect to other hosts.  On the Linux end I have SuSE 
SLES9 host running xVNC.  When I start the Viewer and fill in the server 
address (10.100.105.14::5901), I get a window that pops up for just a 
second saying something like "attempting to connect", then the window 
closes with no other indication of a problem.

If I try to connect to other ports (5900, 5902, etc.) I get "connection 
refused".

I can connect to the Linux Java port (5801) with my browser with no 
problem.  And I can use the VNC Viewer to access other (Windows) systems.

My /etc/xinetd.d/vnc entry for 5901 looks like:

service vnc1
{
         socket_type     = stream
         protocol        = tcp
         wait            = no
         user            = nobody
         server          = /usr/X11R6/bin/Xvnc
         server_args     = :42 -inetd -once -query localhost -geometry 
1024x768 -
depth 16
         type            = UNLISTED
         port            = 5901
}

And for each time I've tried to start a session, in /var/log/xinetd.log 
I have the following one line entry of:

05/12/6 "at" 16:33:33: START: vnc1 from=10.100.105.1


Any suggestions on what's wrong or where to look?


Thanks,
Lee
