vnc version question
Hello,
Help me understand this. I'm on a Solaris 10 server with VNC installed on it. VNC comes installed by default on Solaris 10. I 'm tiring to see if the system has the latest version of VNC installed.
The package for VNC on Solaris is SUNWxvnc
Code:
pkginfo -l SUNWxvnc
   PKGINST:  SUNWxvnc
      NAME:  X11/VNC server
  CATEGORY:  system
      ARCH:  sparc
   VERSION:  6.6.2.0500,REV=0.2008.02.15
   BASEDIR:  /usr
    VENDOR:  Sun Microsystems, Inc.
       DESC:  X Window System server based on X.Org Foundation open source  release and RealVNC open source release that displays over RFB protocol  to a VNC client
    PSTAMP:  x10s20080515125558
  INSTDATE:  Nov 02 2012 08:50
   HOTLINE:  Please contact your local service provider
    STATUS:  completely installed
     FILES:       22 installed pathnames
                   7 shared pathnames
                  11 directories
                   4 executables
                   1 setuid/setgid executables
                8838 blocks used (approx)

On the real VNC site it shows that vnc there latest version of VNC for Solaris is 5.0.5. So basicly how do figure out what version I have?

VNC is a protocol, not one particular program. There are many implementations. I suspect the 'official' one you looked at has little to do with Sun's.

I installed RealVNC on a Solaris system. I noticed that the RealVNC uses protocal 4.1 and the one from Oracle uses 3.8. I also needed to add a key to get the RealVNC version to work.
