Does anyone have vnc and inetd working?

[Odenweller, Joe]

Couldn't get 3.3 to work so I took another run at compiling 4.1 on AIX.
This time I was successful and I now have vnc working under inetd on AIX
5.2.  Now I just have to work on the Java side of vnc.

Try to simplify it without the script.

/etc/inetd.conf (one continuous line)
-----------------------------------
5950 stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/local/bin/Xvnc Xvnc -inetd -query
localhost -once securitytypes=none
-----------------------------------

Once you've got it working you can try scripting it.

See the Xvnc man page referencing inetd:

Too bad you don't have "xinetd". It's much easier!
