Hey,

I am trying to run Xvnc in multi-user environment. Everything is working fine except i cannot make more than 2 connections to Xvnc at the same time.

my Xvnc file started with xinetd:

service vnc2
{
type = UNLISTED
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/bin/Xvnc
server_args = -inetd :1 -query localhost -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16 -once -fp /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc -DisconnectClients=0 -NeverShared passwordFile=/root/.vncpasswd -extension XFIXES
port = 5903
}
service vnc1
{
type = UNLISTED
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/bin/Xvnc
server_args = -inetd :2 -query localhost -geometry 1280x1024 -depth 16 -once -fp /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc -DisconnectClients=0 -NeverShared passwordFile=/root/.vncpasswd -extension XFIXES
port = 5902
}
service vnc3
{
type = UNLISTED
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/bin/Xvnc
server_args = -inetd :3 -query localhost -geometry 1280x1024 -depth 16 -once -fp /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc -DisconnectClients=0 -NeverShared passwordFile=/root/.vncpasswd -extension XFIXES
port = 5904
}

I have also added the following lines to /etc/services

vnc1 5902/tcp
vnc2 5903/tcp
vnc3 5904/tcp

The deal is that I can make two connections to the server but not three at the same time. For example, if vnc1 and vnc2 are on then vnc3 cannot be made with the given error:

read: Connection reset by peer (10054)

Any help will be appreciated.

Hmmm, not really sure about this one, but does vnc3 if you aren't connected to either of the others... also are you using ssh tunnels or anything else?

I am not using any tunnels.

When I am connected to vnc1 and vnc2 then vnc3 does not work. To make it work i need to kill either vnc1 or vnc2 instance. Therefore, if vnc1 and vnc3 work then vnc2 will not. It seems like Xvnc limits the number of instances that can be run...

I tried to run these instances with different user names but the problem persists.

It is very strange...

ps. I am running Ubuntu 8.04 server edition with GNOME as GUI.

Does anybody know any solutions?
