RE: [Xen-users] qemu-dm and port 5900

["Andrew Commons" <andrew.commons@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Fajar, that should get me started. I'm new to Xen and this reared its
head as I started to move to auto-starting DomUs at boot. 

Unfortunately, since my RHN subscription came with a Dell box, RedHat insist
that Dell are the support provider :-( 

The web site refuses to take a support issue because of this. 

I am trying Dell and I'm willing to be pleasantly surprised :-)

Cheers,
andrew

Sure you can. Either:
- configure xen to bind to specific IP (e.g. 127.0.0.1) instead of 0.0.0.0,
or
- configure xen to not use port 5900

Ever tried contacting Redhat Support? They're obligated to help you
for simple configuration questions like this you know. As long as you
have an active subscription :D

IIRC you can edit domU's configuration file (/etc/xen/*), add
"vncunsed=0" to tell it to use port 5900+dom_ID (instead of using any
available port starting 5900).
