My notes on setting it up with dtlogin are:
Starting VNC on demand from inetd, displaying dtlogin login screen:
# Enable XDMCP connections on dtlogin by removing "-udpport 0" from args
# Warning: restart will kill all current dtlogin sessions!
svccfg -s cde-login setprop 'dtlogin/args=""'
svcadm restart cde-login
# Add xvnc service to /etc/services if it isn't already
printf "vnc-server\t5900/tcp\t\t\t# VNC Server\n" >> /etc/services
# Enable Xvnc inetd service:
inetadm -e xvnc-inetd
Connect from another machine with:
vncviewer hostname:0
and verify you see the login screen and can login to a desktop session.
I assume gdm will need similar configuration to undo it's secure-by-default
configuration, but don't know those details off hand. (I've added a cc of
desktop-discuss, where more people who know gdm can be found.)
BTW, the step above to add vnc-server to /etc/services shouldn't be needed
after upgrading to nv_99 or later, since it will finally be in the shipped
/etc/services.
