+ | ====== VNC over inetd with gdm - number of session limitation ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | There are a lot of pages about setting up vnc over inetd. I had been running such a setup for years with 10 - 20 simultaneous sessions being commonplace, | ||
+ | |||
+ | - vnc over inetd is working for 2 sessions (gdm login screen comes up) | ||
+ | - any more than 2 sessions and those additional sessions never launch even a gray screen (before gdm login). | ||
+ | - messages like "end of stream" | ||
+ | - if you kill one of the 2 working sessions, another session (independent of machine location) will become available in about 20 seconds. | ||
+ | - tests or debugging will show that inetd is launching Xvnc but that is terminating. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The above told me that there was a limit imposed someware on the total number of sessions and it wasn't inetd' | ||
+ | The fact that the limit was independent of the sessions being local (tunneled over ssh) or from a vnc terminal on the local network and that no matter were it came from I could get 2 sessions going before it would stop got me out of looking at / | ||
+ | |||
+ | The thing that fixed it was adding a " | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | [xdmcp] | ||
+ | Enable=true | ||
+ | |||
+ | HonorIndirect=false | ||
+ | |||
+ | DisplaysPerHost=16 | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you use the graphical setup tool gdmsetup (/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Anyway, that is what solved my problem. Hope this helps. | ||
