env: No such file or directory

I find that to be very odd becuase I didn't get that error last time I used env...

Nothing happened. Solaris 10 kernel is SunOS 5.10.
Ah. Pardon my ignorance.

I believe that did it!

Code:
 # PATH=${PATH}:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/openwin/bin
# vncserver
You will require a password to access your desktops.

I had to redo this after I rebooted. Now when I try and connect with TightVNC on my desktop all I get is
"TightVNC info: Failed to connect to server (my ip address)"

I'm using bge0 inet address. Is that the correct one? I've only configured bge0 and I've got an ethernet cable going from there to the switch that everything else is plugged into. Do I need to be in net mgmt port or something?

What is odd is you mistyped the command I suggested. $PATH and ?PATH are hardly the same.

Wow. Can you please smack me over the head through my monitor? ... I can't believe I just did that.

You can try the following:
- kill your current vnc session
vncserver -kill :1 #since you have created a session using ID as unknown:1

- Once done, generate the keys
vnckeygen

- Again create a session
vncserver

- Try to login through the VNC client you are using.
you need to give server IP:<your session port like 1 in unknown:1>

All, I've attempted quite a few things at this point and here's where I currently stand:

Code:
env PATH=$PATH:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/X11/bin vncserver

New 'unknown:1 ()' desktop is unknown:1

Starting applications specified in //.vnc/xstartup
Log file is //.vnc/unknown:1.log

# env PATH=$PATH:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/X11/bin vncserver

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.
