Barry,
Solaris starts X servers for you without scripting- you can add an entry
to your Xservers file to start additional servers.
The Solaris Case for starting the console X server (:0) and a vnc server on display :5
cp /usr/dt/config/Xservers /etc/dt/config/Xservers
# the files in /usr/dt/config are the defaults and are used if admin modified files
# don't exist in /etc/dt/config. This file contains mostly comments- the last
# lines are the important ones:
:0 Local local_uid@console root /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0 -nobanner
:5 Local local_uid@none root /opt/vnc/bin/Xvnc :5 -httpd /opt/vnc/classes -geometry 1152x900 -rfbwait 120000 -rfbauth /opt/vnc/.vnc/passwd -rfbport 5905 -alwaysshared
(The :5 line is a single line with no newline/carrige return. -alwaysshared and other Xvnc server
options can be taked onto this line- the ports must match for each entry :X, Xvnc :X, and -rfbport 590X)
Dtlogin generally does not like non-standard display sizes- expect problems if you use other
than the standards: 1024x768, 1152x900, 1280x1024, and 1600x1200.
The above example assumes your Xvnc binary resides in /opt/vnc/bin and the classes directory
is /opt/vnc/classes. The path to the session password is specified by the rfbauth flag- in this case,
the session password is in /opt/vnc/.vnc/passwd. To set this passwd:
/bin/csh #get a new shell so as to not muck up your environment
setenv HOME /opt/vnc #this is the directory that contains the .vnc/password path.
/opt/vnc/bin/vncpasswd
(set your passwd)
exit
If you are using an existing vncpassword you don't need to do those steps.
/etc/init.d/dtlogin reset
Will kill all running X Servers and start all servers contained in /etc/dt/config/Xservers-
each X server will have a dtlogin running, and after successfully entering a username and
password CDE or Openwindows will start. This gives you a full desktop session where
the background patterns can be set to solid grey/light grey (and those settings will also be
saved).
NOTE!! If your binaries are not local on the machine (nfs/afs/dfs mount), dtlogin MUST
start after the shared filesystem is mounted. (In my case, the default is for dtlogin to start
in /etc/rc2.d while afs starts in /etc/rc3.d- moving the link (mv /etc/rc2.d/S99dtlogin /etc/rc3.d/S99dtlogin)
causes the dtlogin to start after the distributed filesystem... (ignore all of this if the
binaries are local).
Using the Xservers file avoids the /tmp/.X11-unix directory permissions issues because
the Xserver is started by root (which own /tmp/.X11-unix and must have write access
there to start an Xserver). The Xserver is owned by root and the Xsession is owned by the
user that successfully logs on- as it should be. No scripting required as the native OS is
used in the proper fashion to start the server.
Cheers,
Shaun
