I am running Solaris 8 and connecting to it from a Win 2000 machine. It
works exactly as we need, as long as someone has previously logged in and
started vncserver as a user, not as root.

What I want to be able to do is start Xvnc (or vncserver) as a daemon at
system boot, and log in as the user. Right now, when I log in, it brings up
the Root desktop, not the user desktop. The exact same script brings up the
user desktop when started as the user. 

I put the start up script in /etc/rc3.d/ and made the user the owner of the
script, plus set the "user-id" bit on the script permissions as well as on
the Xvnc application.  Xvnc is running as the user. 

Any ideas?
