VNC Server configuration linux

Step I : Enable vnc services on host MyServer.
?#setup
???????→ go to system services
???????→ check out that vnc and vncserver are enabled.
???????→ if not enable it using space bar.
???????→ quit from setup.

?# service vncserver start

Step II : Start the VNC server.
# vncserver
...
vncserver started on MyServer:1.
Note : Only one instance of server is created.

#vncpasswd
password:*****
retype password:****
Note : This will set vnc password for accessing vnc server.


Step III : Testing
From client run vncviewer(dont run remote desktop connection from winxp or win2003 .they are using different protocol.)

In server enter : MyServer:1
enter password:
and you will see the screen with one terminal open.

Thats because by default vnc starts twm desktop.

For getting your gnome desktop

Go to /root/.vnc/

vi xstartup

change the 4th and 5th lines to look like this
unset session manager
exec /etc/x11/.../initrc
