I should have mentioned that I can connect to this Solaris machine using Xnest or Hummingbird Exceed (XDMCP) no problem.
I did get a few negative indications on installation, but the package still installed so I figured it should still work. The only warning that looked like it could relate to this problem was that "/usr/openwin/bin/xauth is not on your path." Here are the warnings I got: ----------------------------------------------- ## Executing postinstall script. Checking for xauth... /usr/openwin/bin WARNING: /usr/openwin/bin/xauth is not on your path. Checking for perl... [Not found] WARNING: perl not found. Checking for uname... [OK] Warning: /dev/urandom not found or not readable. VNC will run without this, but security will be weakened. To make /dev/urandom available, do one of the following: Solaris 8 (SunOS 5.8): Apply patch 112438 (32Bit / 64Bit). Solaris 7 (SunOS 5.7): Install SUNWski package. Solaris 2.6 (SunOS 5.6): Install SUNWski package. ----------------------------------------------- /usr/openwin/bin/xauth is present, but not in "root" default path. Should I explicitly set the path in my VNC startup script? What is the consequence of not having Perl installed? Where will I find the SUNWski package? Would it be on the original OS media? Do I need it? --Cal Webster On Fri, 2005-09-30 at 17:16, Calvin Webster wrote: > Server is VNC 4.1.1, installed from downloaded Solaris package.
