You can have a dedicated vncserver running for all users. Better setup your
system as on http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp . This
will start a vncserver on the fly. Most likely, you only need to adapt the
/etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf files.

Details for /etc/inetd.conf file: use your own path to Xvnc, use an account
that can create sockets (`sys` or `bin` instead-of `nobody`) and add the
font path (with -fp option) as you use on the console (see `xset -q` there).

Most likely, specially on sun, you have no right to create the socket.
Search the archives for 'sun' or 'Solaris' and you will find the problems
(and a solution)

One solution with the above link setup is starting the Xvnc (in the
inetd.conf file) with a proper user.

You don't have success with `Xvnc :4 -query localhost`? That's Sun-Solaris
setup, better ask a solaris guru.
