I'd begun to wonder if it was a CDE issue. I've tried an Openwindows login, but that fails in the same way. I've googled for the warning, with no joy - any suggestions on something else to try? I'm very much feeling my way around Solaris, so do suggest things that you think are obvious!
Thanks,

I hope you can help, as google et. al have proved unable to!
I am running VNC4.0 on Solaris 8 (2/04), via inetd. My inetd.conf line is thus:
vnc-1152x864x24 stream tcp nowait root /space/tools/bin/Xvnc Xvnc -inetd -query localhost -once -geometry 1152x864 -depth 24 -SecurityTypes=None -desktop="baltar-Sol8" -fp tcp/baltar:7100
I can start a session via vncviewer, and get the CDE login prompt. I can enter a username & password, but then the VNCviewer window simply disappears. vncviewer informs me "end of stream" and nothing else. I've looked at /var/dt/Xerrors:
/usr/openwin/bin/xset: bad font path element (#38), possible causes are:
Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
Directory missing fonts.dir
Incorrect font server address or syntax
Warning: Null child found in argumnet list to unmanage
dtlogin: recieved signal 11
This indicates CDE, which services your login is quitting, its not vnc to blame for this, Xvnc just quits because it is instructed to do so by dtlogin.
I don't think the fontpath is the problem, better look at the warning.
This all starts with a fontpatherror. IF it is just one of the fontsdirectories in your fontpath, it should not be a problem. However, if this leaves no fonts left (all fontdirectories are wrong) then I can imagine there are problems.
Since your Xvnc call does not specify any fontpath, the windowmanager has to come with one. If they don't, there are no fonts and the windowmanager might have a problem here...
Try specifying a fontpath in the Xvnc-call, try the one you use on the console.
