I am hoping to run Netscape on Sun2 but view it on Sun1s desktop (a VNC
desktop).  The error message is:

Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
Error: Can't open display: genesis:1


Aha. Quick fix, on Sun1, try:
xhost +sun2
(or whatever sun2's real hostname is) will probably work. See 'man xauth' for more info on access control for X.
When you're all done, run:
xhost -sun2


If only vnc would run on Sun2, I would be happy but for some reason it says:
vncserver: unknown command
even though vncserver and Xvnc are in the path and they are also in the
directory I am currently in


vncserver on my box is implemented as a Perl script and references various other binaries, creates an xauth file and installs a xstartup file if one doesn't exist (I can never remember whether its .xinitrc or .Xclients or.....). You might want to add in a few 'print "Got this far\n";' lines in to see what's not working.
