Hello VNC list,

I receive this error: _XSERVTransSocketCreateListener: failed to bind listener
                             _XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener:
...SocketCreateListener() failed
                             _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to
create listener for local
                             Fatal server error:
                             Failed to establish all listening sockets

when trying to start the vncserver process on a sun solaris 2.6 machine
(ultra60).  I am able to run the same vncserver perl script on another ultra60
same os rev and I don't have any problems. On the machine where the vncserver
works I can run it either as an admin or standard user; however, on the other
machine I can only run the process as root.

any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

thankyou

Jeremy Hooper
