Since I just Some questions: What's the user's account that installed vncserver? What's the location where vncserver is installed? What's the user's account that runs vncserver? What's the current location (`pwd`) while starting vncserver? Whild guess: It appeares there is a file with the name vncpasswd and execute rights in the current directory. The current directory (.) is in the ${PATH}, before the location of vncserver. If so: somehow remove this vncpasswd file from the ${PATH} with one of the next routes: remove it, go to an other directory or remove the execute rights. > installed the program, > I'm running it as root so permissions shouldn't be a problem.
