Hello,

I just installed the latest version of RealVNC on my Windows XP box 
and it works great.

I then installed it on a Redhat Linux WS4 system using the RPM distribution.

I added the following file to /etc/xinetd.d:

service Xvnc
{
         disable 		 = no
         socket_type             = stream
         protocol                = tcp
         port                    = 5900
         wait                    = yes
         user                    = nobody
         server                  = /usr/bin/Xvnc
         server_args             = Xvnc -inetd -query -once securitytypes=none

}

and the following to /etc/services:

Xvnc            5900/tcp

and then did a:

	service xinet restart

But, whenever I try to connect to the system with either the Windows 
or Linux version of "vncviewer", I get about a 1000 of the following 
in the /var/log/messages file, and the connection fails:

Aug 31 20:02:36 mail xinetd[21796]: START: Xvnc pid=22999 from=<no address>

Aug 31 20:02:36 mail xinetd[23004]: warning: can't get client 
address: Transport endpoint is not connected

I have no idea what to try and Googles haven't turned up anything useful.

Thanks for your help!
