I have placed a startup script in /etc/init.d that invokes a vnc server when the machine is booted. The problem is, how do I make it start, "posing" as a specific user, so that the user logging in through vnc, will have access rights I can control. This is not a specific VNC question, as it should apply to any startup script in /etc/init.d Thanks in advance Bo Jacobsen e-mail: subs@SystemHouse.dk

I could be wrong but have you looked at man "startproc" -- Togan Muftuoglu

DESCRIPTION startproc and the LSB variant start_daemon check for all processes of the specified executable and starts it if no processes are found. Note that startproc is designed to start a daemon but not a kernel thread or a program which enables a kernel thread. Jerry
