Summary:                    VNC Server does not start after installation
Description: 
After installation of VNC server package, the service does not start. 

First problem : script is not executable

bash-3.00# ls -la /etc/opt/csw/init.d/cswvncserver
-rw-r--r--   1 root     bin         1421 mars  3  2010
/etc/opt/csw/init.d/cswvncserver

Suggested fix : 

bash-3.00# chmod a+x /etc/opt/csw/init.d/cswvncserver
bash-3.00# ls -la /etc/opt/csw/init.d/cswvncserver
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     bin         1421 mars  3  2010
/etc/opt/csw/init.d/cswvncserver

Second problem : Some executables are not in the PATH

xauth is not available, nor is Xnv

bash-3.00# cat network-cswvncserver\:default.log 
[ janv  5 14:02:19 Enabled. ]
[ janv  5 14:02:19 Executing start method
("/var/opt/csw/svc/method/svc-cswvncserver start") ]

After installation the startup script can be started with a target user
without a modified PATH variable. I suggest to add /usr/openwin/bin and
/opt/csw/bin to the PATH inside the startup script. This will ensure that
no programs are missing in the PATH.
