Help. I've been working on this off and on for several weeks and now
I'm down to the wire and need to make it work ...

I'm trying to get tightVNC server ( 1.2.8,REV=2003.04.27 from
BlastWave) running on a test server (V490 - Solaris 9). Opening the
vncviewer (RealVNC 4.1.1.0 on Windows XP) gets error - "The Connection
Closed Unexpectedly Do you wish to attempt to reconnect to
localhost:1?".

Here's the server side log file:

(Note: TightVNC is running on two production servers and does work from
the Windows box in question.)
