If I understand what you're trying to do properly, I would recommend setting up Xvnc inside the Xsession file for your display manager (xdm or gdm or whatever it is these days on Solaris). Then you can have a few desktops with a standard X display login waiting for you - some shared, some not - so that your users can choose if they want to share their session with others or have a private connection to the other box.
Doing it this way is orthogonal to the issue of upgrading. I have certainly set this up on solaris and linux multiple times with 3.3 in the late 90s. alex On 9/7/06, Simon Oexl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I would like to configure my two Sun boxes running Solaris 8 so that I can > connect with the VNCViewer and get a Solaris DTlogin. > > > > I managed to do this on one workstation only with entries in /etc/services > and /etc/inetd.conf.
