I have installed the product VNC Server in an AIX 4.3.0 server following the instructions in the document How To Install VNC On AIX (Joshua Kuo, August 2001)

After the vncserver script has started the Xvnc server, it then runs your ~/.vnc/xstartup script. By default this will try to start the twm window manager, but if twm isn't on your path, or if you prefer something else, you can edit xstartup. The log file may also give you clues about what is happening. pino /.vnc>more pino:1.log 11/03/02 19:59:32 Xvnc version 3.3.3r2 11/03/02 19:59:32 Copyright (C) AT&T Laboratories Cambridge. 11/03/02 19:59:32 All Rights Reserved. 11/03/02 19:59:32 See http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc for information on VNC 11/03/02 19:59:32 Desktop name 'X' (pino:1) 11/03/02 19:59:32 Protocol version supported 3.3 11/03/02 19:59:32 Listening for VNC connections on TCP port 5901 11/03/02 19:59:32 Listening for HTTP connections on TCP port 5801 11/03/02 19:59:32 URL http://pino:5801 11/03/02 20:11:55 Got connection from client 172.16.11.93 11/03/02 20:11:55 Protocol version 3.5 11/03/02 20:11:55 Ignoring minor version mismatch 11/03/02 20:11:58 Pixel format for client 172.16.11.93: 11/03/02 20:11:58 8 bpp, depth 8 11/03/02 20:11:58 true colour: max r 7 g 7 b 3, shift r 0 g 3 b 6 11/03/02 20:11:58 no translation needed 11/03/02 20:11:58 Using hextile encoding for client 172.16.11.93 11/03/02 20:11:58 rfbProcessClientNormalMessage: ignoring unknown encoding type 11/03/02 20:12:13 Client 172.16.11.93 gone 11/03/02 20:12:13 Statistics: 11/03/02 20:12:13 key events received 0, pointer events 292 11/03/02 20:12:13 framebuffer updates 251, rectangles 636, bytes 456384 11/03/02 20:12:13 hextile rectangles 636, bytes 456384 11/03/02 20:12:13 raw bytes equivalent 902525, compression ratio 1.977556 pino /.vnc> I have tried to use the xstartup file with the twm, mwm and dtwm commands #!/bin/sh PATH=$PATH:/usr/dt/bin if [ -f /usr/dt/bin/Xsession ] then export XSTATION=1 DTXSERVERLOCATION=local Xsession & else xrdb $HOME/.Xdefaults xsetroot -solid grey xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & mwm & fi I have used the path command: PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/lpp/X11/bin However, from the AIX Server I could take control of Windows 2000 and it worked correctly I wonder if you can help me?
