When you want to run a vncserver session on a non-root user from a solaris sparc machine, it just ends with this
message:
_XSERVTransSocketCreateListener: failed to bind listener
After going around some places i found something to fix this at
http://www.webservertalk.com/archive100-2004-2-131777.html
That involves creating a script in /usr/bin/fixXdir.ksh and putting it at the crontab, like this:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
PATH=”
IFS=’ ‘
ice_dir=/tmp/.ICE-unix
x11_dir=/tmp/.X11-unix
for dirname in $ice_dir $x11_dir
; do
{
if (! [ -d $dirname ] )
then
/usr/bin/mkdir $dirname
if [ $? != 0 ];
then
/usr/bin/echo “Warning: $0: cannot
mkdir $dirname.”;
fi
fi
if ([ -d $dirname ] )
then
/usr/bin/chown root:root $dirname
if [ $? != 0 ];
then
/usr/bin/echo “Warning: $0: cannot chown $dirname.”;
fi
/usr/bin/chmod 1777 $dirname
if [ $? != 0 ];
then
/usr/bin/echo “Warning: $0: cannot chmod $dirname to 1777.”;
fi
fi
}
done

The crontab line is this:
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55
/usr/bin/fixXdir.ksh
