External VNC Viewer - help

[hotwired007]

Hi guys,

ive searched the forum and found this: http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/612-External-VNC-viewer

I added this to my /etc/inetd.conf so that I can always connect to my VMs with an external viewer:
9001 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/qm qm vncproxy 101 SecretPassword
9002 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/qm qm vncproxy 102 SecretPassword
9003 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/qm qm vncproxy 103 SecretPassword
9004 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/qm qm vncproxy 104 SecretPassword
etc

I have added this to my copy of the file... whenever I connect to it using VNCTight i get an invalid protocol error and UVNC always errors out.... what have I missed?

Cheers

I have telnet'd to the server and it looks like the port is open... i get an error in telnet :

illegal characters in ticket

connection to host lost

press any key to continue..._

fixed it...

in the /etc/inetd.conf the secret password must be alphanumeric and not have any symbols
