VNC Problem

[Gene Lapointe]

Ok, so on fedoraforum.org, i was told to spit out the results of
iptables -L so here it is.

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         
RH-Firewall-1-INPUT  all  --  anywhere             anywhere            

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         
RH-Firewall-1-INPUT  all  --  anywhere             anywhere            

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Chain RH-Firewall-1-INPUT (2 references)
target     prot opt source               destination         
ACCEPT     all  --  anywhere             anywhere

udp dpt:xdmcp 
REJECT     all  --  anywhere             anywhere            reject-with
icmp-host-prohibited 

I was also told to try to connect tcpdump port 5902 to see if anythings
getting there.  but it showed nothing.
