To start up the VNC server automatically as a service during booting, you need this shell script. You probably also can write a much simpler shell script yourself, that does the same job. In fact you will have to as this script is broken on RedHat 9. The simplest shell script is of course the command "vncserver" alone... This script goes into the folder /etc/init.d. Then you make a symbolic link in the directory /etc/rc5.d that points to the script.

I think /sbin/ifconfig displays at least the ip address, the hardware address and the subnet mask and some other stuff. But not much about anything else like DHCP or DNS addresses...

$ /usr/local/Acrobat5/bin/acroread
$ Warning: charset "UTF-8" not supported, using "ISO8859-1".
$ Aborted

But editing the acroread file (/usr/local/Acrobat5/bin/acroread) really works. After the line:
