Hello,

Following to configuration file update (/etc/turbovncserver-security.conf), I need to reload a running Turbovnc session, to use new parameters.
How can I do that please ?


Thanks & Best Regards
Taheni

Hello,

The parmeters is : pam-service-name
We need to change it without restarting running sessions.

Best Regards taheni

Not possible, sorry. The security configuration file is read only once,
when the Xvnc process starts. That is by design. If Xvnc read the
security configuration file each time a viewer connected, then a clever
user might be able to use a debugger to alter the string table in a
running TurboVNC Server session and thus bypass the system-wide security
restrictions.
