I just don't log out. If I want to close the session, I stop XVnc. Of course, you don't *have* to start the VNC session using the service. You can just start one up yourself. I wrote a couple of one-line scripts that look like: /usr/bin/vncserver :8 -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16 or /usr/bin/vncserver :8 -geometry 800x600 -depth 8 etc to start them, and one to stop it when I'm done: /usr/bin/vncserver -kill :8 That way I don't have to be root, etc. Ben > > > -----Original Message----- > From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] > On Behalf Of Benjamin J.
