Hi all,
Question: Many times I wondered why is there a vnc service and why does it always fail on startup?
Answer: Simple configuration of the /etc/sysconfig/vncservers
Examples:
this sets up a remote desktop service for user ‘john’ with a resolution of 1024×768
edit /etc/sysconfig/vncservers
VNCSERVERS="2:john"
VNCERSVERARGS=[2]="-geometry 1024x768"
If you want more than one user to have access, do the following:
VNCSERVERS="2:john 3:paul 4:harry"
VNCSERVERARGS[3]="-geometry 800x600"
VNCSERVERARGS[4]="-geometry 1600x1200"
That’s it.
Restart your vnc service and add it to the startup line:
/etc/init.d/vncserver restart
chkconfig vncerver on
Enjoy
