There's a whole chain of patches for DST changes. The exact version of the patch you need to be running depends on where you are...

It shows up in updatemanager. You can click on the item for the description. It lists what it fixes. If it only says things like "fixes australian DST", then you probably don't need it ;) Note that the description lists the fixes in ALL the various revision levels, compare to your current revision level.

I have used RealVNC Free program (http://www.realvnc.com)in all my systems with no problem, if interested hereis a quick way to install it.:

File to use: 搗nc-4_1_2-sparc_solaris.tar.gz?br>#gunzip vnc-4_1_2-sparc_solaris.tar.gz

#tar 杧vf vnc-4_1_2-sparc_solaris.tar

#cd vnc-4_1_2-sparc_solaris

b)

Install it by running:

# ./vncinstall /usr/bin /usr/share/man

Note: this will also install man pages into ?usr/share/man/man1?br>

If you want to use the Java VNC viewer (Open browser and type pc_name:display#):

Copy the files from the java directory to some suitable installation directory

such as /usr/local/vnc/classes (vncserver will read this path!- don抰 change it):

# mkdir -p /usr/local/vnc/classes

# cp java/* /usr/local/vnc/classes

c)

Add to the .profile file (under the user):

vncserver -depth 24 -geometry 1024x768

d)

under the user:

Create a /.vnc directory first, we will create the xstartup file inside:

file /.vnc/xstartup:

#!/bin/sh

xsetroot -solid grey

gnome-session <note: if you want to use gnome as the defualt >

#/usr/dt/bin/dtsession<note: if you want to use CDE as the default>

make the 'xstartup' file executable:

# chmod 744 xstartup

*** Sample used for the user: (use the same file for the other users) 杋t will be created

the first time using it, just change it/add to the following sample:

-

First time to login will ask to create a password or

Run /export/home/卬ame?.vnc/passwd(to add password to login)

If Needed, change ownership on the following 3 if you create them using root user:

/.vnc folder

/.vnc/xstartup

/.vnc/passwd

updatemanager runs fine over X.You can also just look up the DST patch on sunsolve and then apply it with "smpatch update -i patchnumber"
