password setting

Hi,
I use VNC to access my Solaris 10 servers at work, form a Windows machine.
I hope this helps you.

To set a user password use this command in unix.
passwd username

To set a password for VNC
vncpasswd

For each user to have there own password then they need three own account and session. The link below is my blog, that has a how to on account creation.
My Notes: Adding a new user to a UNIX based system

To give each person there own session. You will need to log into the sever and become them.
Example:
su someuser

After you are them start the server:
Example:
vncserver
VNC Server Enterprise Edition E4.2.7 - built Dec 22 2006 12:39:50
Copyright (C) 2002-2006 RealVNC Ltd.
See http://www.realvnc.com for information on VNC.
Running applications in /home/arich/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /home/bitlord/.vnc/solaris-server:4.log
New desktop is solaris-server:4

In this example they will put solaris-server:4 in the VNC Server field, when they start the VNC application.

As a bonus you can set the size of there window like this:
vncserver --geometry 1500x1024

I hope this is what your looking for.
