Our Solaris 10 server is running VNC Enterprise Edition 4.4.2.
Websphere admin (wasadmin) started up a new VNC session #2 :

wasadmin > /usr/local/bin/vncserver :2

# ps -ef | grep vnc

wasadmin 10570 1 0 16:45:27 ? 0:01 Xvnc :2 -
PasswordFile /export/home/wasadmin/.vnc/passwd -auth /export/home/
wasadmin

root 10571 10570 0 16:45:27 ? 0:00 Xvnc :2 -
PasswordFile /export/home/wasadmin/.vnc/passwd -auth /export/home/
wasadmin

wasadmin 10574 1 0 16:45:29 ? 0:00 vncconfig -iconic

User wasadmin resetted the VNC password :

wasadmin > /usr/local/bin/vncpasswd

Unfortunately, the wasadmin user still can't connect to VNC from the
VNC client.
Below is the content of server:2.log under the /export/home/
wasadmin/.vnc directory :

Could anyone assist me in resolving this connection issue ? Thanks,
Bill

Just a wild guess: perhaps the vncserver needs to be restarted so that
it re-reads the password file?

Good suggestion Oscar. We restarted vncserver few times but still not
working :-(

Hi

I'll check access rights for your user wasadmin and focus on remote
access;
anyway what did U find in logs on U;'r server ...?
