[ale] Using VNC from xinetd

I'm having trouble running VNC from xinetd. In particular, I'm having
trouble with both the Xvnc from realVNC and tightvnc, but different
troubles.
With realVNC, as I think I wrote earlier, my server crashes randomly.
So I'm trying tightVNC.
TightVNC appears to work okay from xinetd. Here is my xinetd config:
#vnc server at 1600 x 1200
service vnc1612
{
protocol = tcp
socket_type = stream
wait = no
groups = yes
user = nobody
server = /usr/bin/Xvnc
server_args = -inetd -query localhost -once -desktop Development
-geometry 1600x1200 -depth 16 -alwaysshared
disable = no
#flags = NOLIBWRAP
}
This works, but because of the "wait = no", only one client can connect
to the session. I want multiple clients to be able to connect, or to be
able to exit my client, then rejoin the session later. With realVNC I
can just switch to "wait = yes" and it works like I want. With tightVNC
the vnc server won't even start up.
Has anyone mastered this?
Thanks,
Michael
