I suppose that the vncservers file is just a list of the connections you'll be offering/using so just put your definitions in there and see where it takes you. I've never used VNC in this way so I'm not sure what else might be in that file.

What you are looking for is a linux terminal server solution which includes session handling,
there are several projects available that provides that feature, one simple solution is to use
ThinLinc, which includes 10 free concurrent users licenses for free.
Installation is a breeze, take a look at the following installations screencast for ubuntu which
does not differ from how you do it on RHEL.
Yes, you just install ThinLinc server as the video suggests and you dont need to bother about anything
else then getting the ThinLinc client and connect to you server, it will work out of the box with
10 concurrent users connected with each one of them with having their own desktop session.
I have installed the thinlinc master in the main workstation, so I need to install thinlinc client in other user's computer to access the main workstation, right?
If we just use our own laptop to access the workstation, how to install the thinlinc client? I have tried, but the install-server file seems can not auto install in windows 7.
Yes, ThinLinc server goes into the workstation you want to remotly access and
the computers accessing the ThinLinc server needs the ThinLinc client which is
available at the following url: http://www.cendio.com/downloads/clients/
I have installed the master in Redhat 5, but I didn't do anything.
Then I installed the client in my laptop, key in the IP address, put my name and password there, but I can not connect to the main workstation?
Where did I do it wrongly?
Thanks, Henrik.
The communication is tunneled over ssh protocol (port 22), make sure you can connect
to this port from client to server, what error message do you get when you try to
connect with the client ?
