It's the X11 windows side that fails to start. You mention to start Xvnc. Do you specify a display? The default is :0 which is occupied by the X (Xsun?) application at your console. Try `Xvnc :4`. If this `Xvnc :4` still fails with the same error, just alter the numbers to find one. If the error alters, it's most likely because Xvnc cannot create a socket. It specifies a directory in which it tries to create a file. This directory must have read, write and execute richts for you. (drwxrwxrwx will do). Solaris is known to have this security to tight for vnc. > > can anyone plzzzz tell me what am i doing wrong?...do i have > to type some commands or something....thaaank you > To use the vncserver script, perl (5.x) is required. But, the script is not required. Most of the script is the creation of the user's vnc settings in the ~/.vnc/ directory. You can do that manually. The remainder of the script is a call to `Xvnc` and a call to a startup script in ~/.vnc/. You can create a script for that. If you're realy fresh on unix, have your sysadmin setup vnc as on this page: http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp.
