VNC Server on Linux

-rw-r--r--  1 root root 495 Apr 14 18:56 /etc/sysconfig/vncservers

vi /etc/sysconfig/vncservers


VNCSERVERS="1:[username]"

VNCSERVERARGS[1]="-geometry 1280x1024"

Set password

su - 

vncpasswd

Customize X startup

vi ~retoh/.vnc/xstartup

# GNOME:
exec /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession gnome

# FLUXBOX:
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/fluxbox

Tips

• The .vnc directory is beeing created in the users home directory at the first time the vncserver was started with the related username. You may edit the .vnc/xstartup file to define your preferred window manager.
• Use a dedicated username for VNC sessions. Unproper logouts may corrupt the user's configuration base, especially in a Gnome environment.
