 |
|
Hi,
Any help would be appreciated. I'm able to run tightvnc as root but no one else.
tightvnc invokes Xvnc with the following:
| Code: | | root 7455 0.6 0.7 9832 7512 pty/s0 S 20:46 0:03 Xvnc :4 -desktop X -httpd /usr/share/tightvnc/classes -auth /root/.Xauthority -geometry 1024x768 -depth 24 -rfbwait 120000 -rfbauth /root/.vnc/passwd -rfbport 5904 -fp /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/ |
Permissions on Xvnc are:
| Code: | | -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 1422272 Apr 6 20:06 /usr/bin/Xvnc |
It's pretty odd. When I try to start it as non-root user, the Xvnc process just dies (and doesn't really say why). The log is:
| Code: | X connection to :1.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
FbTk::EventManager: Warning: unregistered eventhandlers!
xterm: fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) or KillClient on X server ":1.0"
|
Not quite sure what to make of this. Any ideas?
Thanks! |

| did tightvnc create any groups during install? Maybe you should add users to that group... |
