These include leopard’s vnc server log file, pid file and an X startup script. To make VNC server to start on boot: # chkconfig vncserver on More User ConfigurationĪfter the VNC service is started, some new files are created in /home/leopard/.vnc/ directory. Start the VNC serverĪfter the initial configuration is done we restart the vnc service. This password is saved in /home/leopard/.vnc/passwd. This is the password that we will use when we connect to leopard’s vnc server instance. So, as user leopard give the command: # vncpasswd User leopard’s vnc password needs to be set. There is one more thing that needs to be done on the remote machine. These would listen on ports 5901, 5902, 5903 respectively. VNCSERVERARGS='-geometry 800圆00 -depth 8' In our case, leopard’s vnc server would listen on port 5903.įor multiple vnc instances /etc/sysconfig/vncservers would look like this: VNCSERVERS='1:tiger 2:albatros 3:leopard'

Each VNC server instance listens on port 5900 plus the display number on which the server runs. With these we define that a vnc server instance should be started as user leopard on display 3 and we also set some options for this server such as resolution and color depth. VNCSERVERARGS='-geometry 1024x768 -depth 16'

Edit this file so that it contains the following: VNCSERVERS='3:leopard' These will be started by the vncserver initscript. In Fedora Core or Red Hat based distros in general, all we have to do is define the VNC server instances in /etc/sysconfig/vncservers. I assume that we have setup a remote user account, named ' leopard' and we want to start an X session through VNC for this user. The RPM packages vnc-server and vnc should be installed on the remote machine and your workstation respectively. A user account should exist on the remote machine.
