Running VNC on Solaris 8

[Paganatron]

HI,

I have and issue starting vncserver. I get the error vncserver: couldn't find "xauth" on your PATH.

I have read the other posts regarding this issue and they mention adding the location of the xauth to the $PATH.

I did this by typing:
set PATH= ( /usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/X/bin )

This I know only sets the path for that terminal session, when I echo $PATH, I get this:

/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/X/bin

Yet on running ./vncserver I still get this error.

What am I doing wrong??

If you type which xauth after setting your PATH, does it find it?

Can't remember, is vncserver a shell script?

It's a perl script.
