TurboVNC and xinetd

[Stephan von Krawczynski]

Hello all,

I am on arch linux and tried something quite simple - at least I thought it
was. I wanted to start a vnc service with xinetd which acts persistent. This
should be easy because handling remote vnc logins isn't really that odd. But I
found out that this is quite a problem. Even if stepping down and trying
dynamic sessions (wait=no in xinetd) I still cannot get it working. So I'd
like to ask here if anyone has something like this working and can share
a known-to-work xinet config file for turboVNC. Please don't point to man pages
(like the one from TigerVNC Xvnc because none of that works, I tested them
all).
Any hints?

Why do you need to use xinetd?  Can't you just use the existing TurboVNC service?

[Stephan von Krawczynski]

Because we wanted to make persistent sessions.
But in the meantime we found out that VNC is not the right way to go. So we dropped the VNC idea completely and used xrdp instead, which has all features we need.

For my own education, what do you mean by "persistent" session?

[Stephan von Krawczynski]

I mean a session you can close and re-open at same point where you left, i.e. you are still logged in and all applications are open as you left them.
In this meaning "non-persistent" would be a session that is logged out and closed when you close the client window. So you need to login for a new (server) session next time you start your client.

Every Xvnc session (including every TurboVNC session) is persistent by
that definition.
