FW: Connection not allowed to own service freedesktop due to security policies

[Robert Van Overmeiren]

Well, I installed the missing libraries and can start the server and set
a password, so now I'am now dealing with the 8 year old issue of getting
the right font libraries in place so vncviewer can start.

You're probably familiar with it...

/usr/bin/xsetroot: unable to open display

Is this supposed to fix my issue, or just ensure that if I do get it
working, I'll be a little more secure?

I'm running fedora 5 where you install with 'yum install vncserver', now
that I downloaded this new one and ran './vncinstall /usr/local/bin',
I'm getting:

Xvnc: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/xsetroot:  unable to open display 'user.domian.com:1'
xrdb: Connection refused
xrdb: Can't open display 'user.domian.com:1'
xmodmap:  unable to open display 'user.domian.com:1'

Why would I be getting this issue now?

please update to 4.1.2; [or ensure that the 4.1.1 has it fixedin the
source]
4.1.1 has a nasty security bug where a maliious client can cause a
connection with no password to be required.
[client over rides server]
