Basically, all stuf from /etc/rc... is started as root. Change to an other user with `su - otheruser command` > > Any ideas? For normal users, setup as on http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp . Most likely, you need to only edit /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf. Details for Solaris: read manual on inetd.conf file, use an account for Xvnc that can create an X11 socket (have write access to /tmp/....X11... socket directory).
