I want to set up a terminal server using VNC. This will enable you to work on a remote computer and use your local computer as a display only. For this example I used SUSE Linux 13.1 but it should work same or similar on other distributions as well.

  • install VNC incl. the config files for xinetd
yast -i xorg-x11-Xvnc
  • edit /etc/xinet.d/vnc to contain
service vnc1
{
       socket_type     = stream
       protocol        = tcp
       wait            = no
       user            = nobody
       server          = /usr/bin/Xvnc
       server_args     = -securitytypes=none -noreset -inetd -once -query localhost -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16
       type            = UNLISTED
       port            = 5901
}
  • start xinetd
xinetd
  • now I got an error message
No password configured for VNC Auth

-securitytypes=none

  • xinetd re start
  • black window only
  • display manager remote access
  • rcxdm restart
