Hi, I have no problem on using the above vncserver on Solaris 7 if the login user is root. However if running vncserver as a non-root user, it only worked once or twice, then stopped working. The $HOME/.dt/startlog shows the following error: server1:/export/home/user1/.dt$more startlog --- Wednesday January 24 11:35:37 GMT 2001 --- /usr/dt/bin/Xsession starting... --- Xsession started by --- setting font path... --- setting auxiliary font path... /usr/openwin/bin/xset: bad font path element (#37), possible causes are: Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions Directory missing fonts.dir Incorrect font server address or syntax --- starting /usr/dt/bin/dtsession_res -load -system --- sourcing /export/home/mesania/.dtprofile... --- sourcing /usr/dt/config/Xsession.d/0010.dtpaths... --- sourcing /usr/dt/config/Xsession.d/0015.sun.env... --- sourcing /usr/dt/config/Xsession.d/0020.dtims... --- sourcing /usr/dt/config/Xsession.d/0030.dttmpdir... --- sourcing /usr/dt/config/Xsession.d/0040.xmbind... --- sourcing /usr/dt/config/Xsession.d/1000.solregis...
