Question : VNC rpm installation problem

i'm trying to get VNC working on a Linux box running RH 8.0.  when i RPM the VNC install file it appears to install correctly.  i get no errors or dependancy issues, but VNC never appears in the services and is not a part of xinetd.  vncserver appears as a service fine.   i've used an rpm from two seperate sources, both of which worked on other machines so i don't think its the rpm file.  what could cause this issue?  

Answer : VNC rpm installation problem

Can you please run the following command to find out which files were installed:

rpm -qa | grep -i vnc

This will print a list of all packages installed that contain the string "vnc" in their names. Use the package name that's listed for the server (e.g. vnc or vncserver) for the next command:

rpm -ql vnc | grep etc

Does this list any files that look like e.g. xinetd config files?

I helped somebody to get vncserver working as a service on Mandrake. The thread is rather long, but you will find everything you need to do in this question: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Operating_Systems/Linux/Linux_Setup/Q_20839457.html
