I don't know details on your problem, I do know some HP-UX odities. What user is starting the Xvnc? Best to start Xvnc as a 'normal' user. User accounts over 60000 (or such, like nobody) are restricted for security reasons. Accounts in the sytem range (0 - 100) don't use proper shells or don't have proper homedirectories for the ~/.vnc directory. From the past, I recal using the '-pn' option to Xvnc. I've succesfully put http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp on linux. Major differences are: No need to start xdm or such as it is most likely already running. Test this with `Xvnc :4 -query localhost`. Only need to alter /etc/services and inetd.conf files. In inetd.conf: Don't use 'nobody', better use 'sys'. Use proper path to Xvnc ;-) Use a working fontpath! (grab it from `xset -display :0.0 -q`) Might need -pn option.
