Nachtrag: Installation des VNC-Servers unter SuSE 9.0

With SuSe 9.0 being released some files have changed so changes to the "vncserver" have to be done.

   ### END INIT INFO
   
   # Deactivate from SuSE 9.0 on
   # test -r /etc/rc.config && . /etc/rc.config
   # Ab SuSE 9.0
   PATH=$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin
   LOGNAME=root
   export LOGNAME
   USER=root
   export USER
   
   # screen geometry for the clients
   # GEO=" -geometry 1024x768" # Fullscreen
   # GEO=" -geometry 796x576" # Default
   GEO=" -geometry 800x640" # own selection
   
   # Check for missing binaries
  

Because the file /etc/rc.config does not exist an more the path is entered directly and running rc.config is deactivated. The variables NAME and LOGNAME have to be set here though they are not set when this script is run.

If a geometry is given on start this sets the screen size for the clients. To use this feature the line

  $FOO_BIN :$FOO_ID 2>&1
  

  $FOO_BIN $GEO :$FOO_ID 2>&1
  

Now you can contiinue as described in the article. Another nice feature of vncviewer: If the viewer is started with the

  vncviewer -shared {IP}:1
  

If you now start it on one computer using the -noshared parameter nobody but you will have the screen or control anymore.
