Thanks Corne'
The idea to install VNC came from oracle support, to fix a problem with
printing some reports
which assume that you have a graphically capable system console. As we just
have a plain old
ascii terminal, Xvnc solves our problem
It was installed by oracle to run as the oracle db system admin account,
applmgr, and to get it to run in
my startup script, I 'su' to this account and issue the startup command. I
don't use any options
except for the display number in the start command so I will try the
options you mentioned.
You are suggesting I run this as a daemon started by inetd and owned by
'sys'.
This could be ok unless oracle complains about it not running as applmgr,
but I would be surprised.
Anyone else out there been persuaded by oracle to run Xvnc?

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.
