Hi

I want to start the vnc-service at boot time for multiple users in my fedora core 4 system.
That what I did:

went into /etc/sysconfig/vncservers

and wrote this:

VNCSERVERS="1:narendra 2rakash 3:root"
VNCSERVERARGS[2]="-geometry 800x600 -alwaysshared"

and my /etc/init.d/vncserver file read like this:

#!/bin/bash
#
# chkconfig: - 91 35
# description: Starts and stops vncserver. \
# used to provide remote X administration services.

# Source function library.
. /etc/init.d/functions

# Source networking configuration.
. /etc/sysconfig/network

# Check that networking is up.
[ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ] && exit 0

unset VNCSERVERARGS
VNCSERVERS=""
[ -f /etc/sysconfig/vncservers ] && . /etc/sysconfig/vncservers

prog=$"VNC server"

start() {
echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
ulimit -S -c 0 >/dev/null 2>&1
RETVAL=0
if [ ! -d /tmp/.X11-unix ]
then
mkdir -m 1777 /tmp/.X11-unix || :
restorecon /tmp/.X11-unix || :
fi
for display in ${VNCSERVERS}
do
echo -n "${display} "
unset BASH_ENV ENV
DISP="${display%%:*}"
export USER="${display##*:}"
export VNCUSERARGS="${VNCSERVERARGS[${DISP}]}"
runuser -l ${USER} -c "cd ~${USER} && [ -f .vnc/passwd ] && vncserver :${DISP} ${VNCUSERARGS}"
RETVAL=$?
[ "$RETVAL" -ne 0 ] && break
done
[ "$RETVAL" -eq 0 ] && success $"vncserver startup" || \
failure $"vncserver start"
echo
[ "$RETVAL" -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/vncserver
}

stop() {
echo -n $"Shutting down $prog: "
for display in ${VNCSERVERS}
do
echo -n "${display} "
unset BASH_ENV ENV
export USER="${display##*:}"
runuser ${USER} -c "vncserver -kill :${display%%:*}" >/dev/null 2>&1
done
RETVAL=$?
[ "$RETVAL" -eq 0 ] && success $"vncserver shutdown" || \
failure $"vncserver shutdown"
echo
[ "$RETVAL" -eq 0 ] && rm -f /var/lock/subsys/vncserver
}

# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
start)
start
;;
stop)
stop
;;
restart|reload)
stop
sleep 3
------------------------------------------------------------

Now when I issue the following command:

service vncserver start

It gives me failed message and service doesn't start.
I have given each user vnc-password also by issuing vncpasswd command for each of them.

Can anybody help me out !!

Regards

Hi Guys,

I somehow solved the problem by creating .vnc directory in each user's home directory and creating the xstartup file also changing the permissions of this file.
Now I gave all the three users different passwords using vncpasswd
command.
But when I access the vnc through IE browser (JAVA) the password is not accepted and the password which I had given for the first time I runned vnc-server as root is accepted for all users.
All users lend into there respective desktop but the password for all of them is same. I need that they have different password but I am not getting it.
Please if somebody can help !

Hey just now I got this file in each user's .vnc directory that is passwd.
The contents of this file are encrypted and these contents for all three users is same.
Please help!
Regards
