I'm trying to get Xvnc -inetd working on a SPARC Solaris 8 system. The behaviour I'm seeing is that a window does open when I connect from a vncviewer, but dies again almost immediately before the login screen appears. The log file indicates that Xvnc started, but doesn't indicate an error (other than a message about ignoring type 3 encoding, which I believe is harmless).
I have followed the instructions in the relevant web page (additions to /etc/services, /etc/inetd.conf, etc.) and have setgid root Xvnc, as described in this mailing list. I've also tried various other proposed solutions I found on the mailing list, but the problem persists. I have set up the server successfully on a Solaris 7 X86 system in (I think) exactly the same way and that works fine. I am at a loss to know what the difference is (though the Solaris 7 system is running XFree86). Any suggestions on where to look? For the record, here are the settings: /etc/services: added line vnc-1024x768 5920/tcp # VNC server /etc/inetd.conf: added line vnc-1024x768 stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/local/etc/Xvncinetd Xvncinetd /usr/local/etc/Xvncinetd: #!/bin/sh exec /usr/local/bin/Xvnc -inetd -once -nevershared -query localhost -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16 (I tried adding the fontserver option, which I don't have on the Solaris 7 system, but it made no difference).
