Hey everyone:
I got it working. I set it up under a user account.
I was trying to set it up with the root account.
It is working with the user account.
Will the VNC server allow remote logins as root?
Thanks,
Neil

Subject: VNC server not reponding to external requests
Hello everyone:
I tried following the instructions on this page to set up a VNC
server:
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/VNC-Server
I can telnet to port 5901 from the machine itself:
# telnet 127.0.0.1 5901
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
RFB 003.008
But, when I try to connect to it from the outside world, I get a connection
timeout.
My /etc/sysconfig/vncservers file does not have the -nolisten tcp nor the
-localhost
options so it should be configured to accept outside connections.
Is there some default setting in the vncserver that I need to change to
allow outside
connections?
Thanks,
Neil
