I've used Xvnc successfully by adding it to Xservers, but would rather have
new displays dynamically spawned upon connection to a single port. Viola! I
learned that I could use inetd for this purpose. Great, but it doesn't seem
to be working. Here's what I have thus far.

  - Added line to /etc/services

    vnc 5950/tcp

  - Added line to /etc/inetd.conf

    vnc stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/lib/vnc/inetd-vnc Xvnc

I had to modify the latter because of a Solaris issue with the number of
commandline args. It's now calling a script file that contains:

   /usr/bin/Xvnc -inetd -query <host> -once -geometry 1024x768 -depth 24

When I attempt to connect, I get no message... it just does nothing. When I
run the same command (without -inetd and with a display number)
interactively, it works fine. I'm at a loss, but really want to have it
working through this mechanism. Any suggestions or pointers are appreciated.
