vncserver problem

[ccook123]

I have vncserver installed on a machine (AIX 5.3) Vncserver application came from the Linux Application disk for Aix.

Whenever I issue the command "vncserver" everything starts up just fine and I can connect.

However if I try to use the "vncserver -localhost" The process starts and instantly dies and my vnc log file looks like this.

17/06/09 22:45:33 Xvnc version 3.3.3r2

xterm Xt error: Can't open display: testaix:1

I would really appreciate any direction on this one.

Are you sure about the -localhost option? I couldn't see it in the vncserver manual!

pretty sure it is an option. My first post contains the server log while using the localhost option. Here is the server log of an option I just made up to compare the logs.

$ vncserver -genericoption
