If you want to kill a vnc session for a userid then you need to do it by logging through that only,
please follow the below guidelines to configure it.

- Consider the id for which i want to setup vnc is testuser and on server test1.

- Login through that id and add the below lines in the .profile file in the home directory.
PATH=${PATH}:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/java/bin:/opt/UUITadm/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/opt/UUITadm/tools
export PATH

- Now either login again to let the changes in your profile file to be in effect or execute below command.
# . ./.profile ## dont skip any of the dots just copy, paste and execute.

- With this you will not get the below message
vncserver: couldn't find "xauth" on your PATH.

- Now execute below command to setup vnc session for testuser considering we are setting it up for the first time otherwise use
vncserver kill to kill previous processes.
vncserver

- Execute the below command to know the session number.
ps -fu testuser | grep Xvnc
In the output look for something like
Xvnc :1 -desktop test1:1 (testuser) -auth /export/home/testuser/.Xauthority

- The above bold is what you need to give in VNC client in order to take a VNC session using testuser ID [better you replace test1 by its FQDN or IP address].

- In case you are not able to take a session, then you need to follow the steps in my previous post.

       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.
