# Download RealVNC server package (Download & Use -> confirm form -> Find the latest Solaris package) (update: As of March 2007 there is no Solaris/x86 package available for download - it has been removed. I don't know why. Alternative is Solaris Companion DVD's SFWvnc package instead - pkgadd -d /mnt/tmp/Solaris_Software_Companion/Solaris_i386/P ackages SFWvnc) We will discuss first about RealVNC. Below are the steps to install & configure # Install package pkgadd -d vnc-4_1_1-x86_solaris.pkg # Add the 'vnc' service to /etc/services: echo 'vnc 5900/tcp' >>/etc/services

In My last Post we have learn how to install & configure a VNC server with GDM on a Solaris 10 OS. We will see in this post How to Configure a VNC session to persist even after exiting the VNC client. This may or may not be desirable for you, but if you want the VNC session to persist if you exit the VNC client then do the following: #  svccfg -s xvnc-inetd svc:/application/x11/xvnc-inetd>  editprop This take you into a vi session. Look for the line... #setprop inetd/wait = boolean: false Copy the line, uncomment it and set it to true. Save the file, exit svccfg and run the command... #  svcadm refresh xvnc-inetd Connect again with you VNC client. Now, when you exit/kill the VNC client, the session on the server will persist and you will be able to connect to it again.

VNC ( Virtual Network Computing) is a way to access and control the desktop of a remote computer. For this functionality the remote computer must be running VNC server software. The OpenSolaris 2008.05 binary distribution or Solaris10 Companion CD includes the SUNWxvnc package for the Solaris operating system. Once this package is installed, you can connect to the Solaris operating system from any other operating system that has a VNC client installed. alternatively you can download SUNWxvnc package from below link http://en.sourceforge.jp/projects/sfnet_solarispackages/downloads/solaris10-508-x86_packages/SUNWxvnc.tgz 1. Check that the VNC Server is Installed This should be present as it is part of the 2008.05 binary distribution, but I checked anyway. #  pkg info SUNWxvnc           Name: SUNWxvnc        Summary: X11/VNC server        ...
