When no user is logged in, then "guess -auth" can't succeed: You're telling x11vnc to figure out the current logged in user and connect to his/her display. No user logged in -> no auth info -> failure.
well thanks for your hints, I just wrote in my other reply, this kinda still works on other machines, and nobody is logged in there either, and there is still that auth file even for this "anonymous" root process that owns the kde or x logon screen and those parts of the process. on some other leap machine the -auth guess works, and nobody is logged in there or did i forget to log out on those machines and the kde session is just locked there? who knows. maybe your hint is correct i could verify this some other time. but i managed to use that actual authfile filename and path via ps wwaux | grep auth and use it as a parameter for -auth instead of the guess the actual file name of the authfile Thanks again.
