Problem with vnc connection

[David Lovell]

We have a number of vnc connections to Solaris servers. All but 1 are 
working fine. 
On 1 server we are having problems.

When connection from Windows desktop with VNC viewer I get to the point of 
entering the server username and password and then it fails.

No errors shown on the screen when it fails.
Some details in /var/dt/Xerrors

We had a sun patch cluster installed on 20/09/12 when our problems 
started. 

Other versions of the patch cluster have been installed on other 

servers with no following problems with VNC. It looks specific to this 

server.
