I found myself some time to have a look at the -init configuration for
HP-UX. I found out the next:

- Find a distribution for HP-UX as there is no default. I found:
http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/platforms.html#hpux,
http://www.csun.edu/~swalton/VNC/. Thanks Stephen.

- Install the files somewhere in the $PATH. I used /usr/bin/. Hence, the
next text uses this directory. HP-UX wise, not the best place, you can pick
your own.

- Change owner and group of the files to 'bin': `chown bin:bin
/usr/bin/*vnc*`

- Edit /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf as described at
http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp (do update the path
to the Xvnc binary!)

Now the hacking starts. netstat tells me inetd will provide me the proper
vnc service but nothing comes up.

- Hack 1: user 'nobody' does not allow a service to start. Exchange it to
user 'root' like the other deamons. Hence: in /etc/inetd.conf, exchange
'nobody' to 'root' in the vnc lines. This provides the dtgreet login screen
(with a horrible font). But after the password, no running session :-(
(After a bad password, a decent bad-password message so the password is not
the problem)

- Hack 2: update the fontpath. Get the fontpath from a decent running
Xserver like the console or a manualy started vncserver: `xset -q` and
provide this fontpath to Xvnc with the -fp option. This updates the font at
the login screen but still no decent login :-(

My question (your challenge) How do I get the login working?

btw: I already have XDMCP up and running: NCD's PCXware gives me a working
session.
