Hello, DISPLAY variable is set to a certain running vserver when XDMCP is started on a vserver host by host:#~/usr/bin/X :1 vt08 -query 192.168.0.100. And not to host. Stopping this certain vserver an DISPLAY variable is set correctly to "host.local". Why? Background: The vserver in one of my customers office is also used as XDMCP-Terminal (why not?). The XDMCP-Server is a Suse 11.1 machine. And it works fine. Now I want to start x11vnc on the vserver to make montoring for support affairs. Using /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup on the Suse 11.1 XDMCP-Server I inplace the code: [...] lhost="${DISPLAY/:*/}" host="${lhost/.*/}" echo lhost: $lhost " host:" $host > /tmp/x11vnc_host [...] because I want to know "where does the Client come from" to start x11vnc on that remote machine, in my case her its the vserver. If there is the vserver "cups" running von the vserver the I get lhost="cups.local" host=cups When shutdown vserver cups: vserver cups stop then I get the right DISPLAY: lhost="host.local" host=host Why? BTW "host" ist not the real name of the vserver, I changed it for better understanding. I've three vservers runing: root@<host>:~# vserver-stat CTX PROC VSZ RSS userTIME sysTIME UPTIME NAME 91 5 140.1M 3.8M 0m00s95 0m00s62 6d00h17 misc 92 6 226M 7.5M 0m00s11 0m00s84 25m31s32 cups -> IP 0.92 93 8 384.2M 10.3M 0m00s40 0m00s48 17m14s94 samba -> IP 0.93 Stopping and starting vserver samba does NOT make samba to the favorite vserver which DISPLAY variable is sent, its only vserver "cups"! Why is cups the favorite machine on the vserver? <host>:~# cat /etc/hosts [...] 192.168.0.100 suse111.local suse111 192.168.0.91 misc.local misc 192.168.0.92 cups.local cups <host>:~# /etc/ssh/sshd_config [...] #ListenAddress 0.0.0.0 ListenAddress 192.168.0.2 <- thats IP of host vserver Protocol 2 [...] tia Ekkard
