I have a sun fire v120 that only has a lom port for a management port. I usually administer this box remotely from a windows 2000 machine by telneting into it. What I would like to do is have some type of gui to administer it instead of the command line. I have looked at vnc but I'm having trouble installing it on the solaris 8 sun box. When I run the vnc server form the command line and it gives me a xauth couldn' find in your path. Where is this located. Or is there a better gui out there.I would like to use the gui from the remote windows machine but using the lom or serial port would be ok too.

I have no problem installing the package, I have trouble running the vncserver. When I issue that command it gives me "couldn't find Xauth on your path." What is that and where is it located?

It does not sound like you have an X Server anywhere. You will need to get some X Server SW to run on your PC (such as Exceed) and set your display back to the PC.
