Hi - I'm using tightvnc-server.ppc 1.3.10-2 from the AIX Toolbox.

When I run vncserver as any user I get:

Integer overflow in srand at /usr/bin/X11/vncserver line 151.

Line 151 is:
srand(time+$$+unpack("L",`cat $vncUserDir/passwd`));

Is there a fix for this?

Thanks
Dean

It's a warning only. The vncserver would have been up and running.

Hi - customer I'm working with fixed the warning message by changing the first line of the vncserver script to use 64-bit perl.

$ head -1 /usr/bin/X11/vncserver
#!/usr/bin/perl64

Running vncserver does not display the warning message.anymore.

Thanks
Dean
