Hi all,
I was at one time able to get x11vnc to start on 5900 but for some reason its listening on port 5903.
Here is what the logs say;
-- snippet X display :0.0
-- snippet The VNC desktop is: hostname:3
Why is the VNC desktop going to 3?
I was working on 5900 previous to a reboot, unsure what changed, but something obviously has.
It is an upper port > 1023, it is entirely possible that 5900, 5901, 5902 were used by outgoing connections at the time service establishment, and VNC just chose the next available port.
