How to Start VNC at System Boot

This procedure starts VNC at system boot from the dtlogin, displaying the dtlogin login screen.

1. Become superuser, or assume the appropriate role.

2. Add an instance of x11-server service called display1 for configuration, and configure it to run Xvnc.

   svccfg -s application/x11/x11-server add display1 svccfg -s application/x11/x11-server:display1 addpg options application svccfg -s application/x11/x11-server:display1 addpropvalue options/server astring: "/usr/X11/bin/Xvnc" svccfg -s application/x11/x11-server:display1 addpropvalue options/server_args astring: '"SecurityTypes=None"'

3. Configure dtlogin to start it.

   mkdir -p /etc/dt/config cp /usr/dt/config/Xservers /etc/dt/config/Xservers echo " :1 Local local_uid@none root /usr/X11/bin/Xserver :1" >> /etc/dt/config/Xservers pkill -HUP dtlogin

4. Connect from another machine and verify that you see the login screen and can log in to a desktop session.
