hello,

I am writing in for the first time to this group. Please see if u can help me out with this problem.

 

I have Red Hat 8.0 installed on my system.

Kernel : 2.4.18-14

 

Setup : I have installed vncserver on the linux system. and i use the vncviewer(for windows) to access the xdesktop on the windows clients. (The windows clients and the linux system are in the same network). This works perfectly fine for one user.

 

Working : Everyuser who wants to view his desktop via the vncviewer on the windows machine has to manually start the vncserver after logging in via telnet after which he is assigned an id for his desktop, then only he can see his desktop via the vncviewer where he specifies the id which was assigned when he started the vncserver.

 

Problem : What i want to know is whether this process can be automated by the administrator so that everytime the machine starts the vncserver can be started for all the users in a sequence known by the administrator so that the id's of each of the users desktop would be know and only fixed id's could be given to the users to connect to their desktop.

 

Please let me know if this problem can be solved.

 

thank you,

ALLAN
