====== VNC Installation in Solaris 10 ======

This document details how to install VNC on Solaris 10.

Download the relevant VNC G-Zipped file from www.realvnc.com eg “vnc-4_1_1-sparc_solaris.tar.gz”

FTP to /tmp on the relevant server.

Un-Zip the file:
  gzcat –d vnc-4_1_1-sparc_solaris.tar.gz > vnc-4_1_1-sparc_solaris.tar

Un-Tar the file:
  tar –xvf vnc-4_1_1-sparc_solaris.tar

Review  “README” file, but essentially:

  mkdir  /opt/sfw/vnc 
  ./vncinstall /opt/sfw/vnc

Add the following entries to file “/usr/dt/config/Xservers”

  :1   Local local_uid@none root /opt/sfw/bin/Xvnc -geometry 1152x900 -depth 24 -SecurityTypes None -rfbauth   /vnc/passwd :1
  :2   Local local_uid@none root /opt/sfw/bin/Xvnc -geometry 1152x900 -depth 24 -SecurityTypes None -rfbauth /.vnc/passwd :2
  :3   Local local_uid@none root /opt/sfw/bin/Xvnc -geometry 1152x900 -depth 24 -SecurityTypes None -rfbauth /.vnc/passwd :3

Amend file “/.vnc/xstartup” so that it looks like below ie original last line remarked out and then add additional line:-

  #!/bin/sh
  [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
  xsetroot -solid grey
  vncconfig -iconic &
  xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
  #twm &
  /usr/dt/bin/dtsession &

Set the VNC password with the following command:-

  cd /opt/sfw/vnc
  ./ vncpasswd

Issue the following commands to enable VNC:-

  /usr/dt/bin/dtconfig –kill
  /etc/init.d/dtlogin stop
  /etc/init.d/dtlogin start
  /usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -e 

Add “/usr/openwin/bin/” (so xauth can be located) to your path and start the VNC Server:-

  PATH=$PATH:/usr/openwin/bin/;export PATH
  vncserver

Test connection to the server with VNC Viewer from your PC.
