Yes it does, The other thing that can be tried is, if you have root access run a ps -ef | grep vnc and kill the process on 10.

Are you sure that there isn't a server running on :10? Have you tried to connect to it with a viewer? It might be useful to look for logs and PID files in the ~/.vnc directory. Does Solaris have a "netstat -a" that can show you if a port has a program listening on port 5910? -- William Hooper _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
