Aha. Quick fix, on Sun1, try:
    xhost +sun2
(or whatever sun2's real hostname is) will probably work. See 'man 
xauth' for more info on access control for X.
When you're all done, run:
    xhost -sun2

vncserver on my box is implemented as a Perl script and references 
various other binaries, creates an xauth file and installs a xstartup 
file if one doesn't exist (I can never remember whether its .xinitrc or 
.Xclients or.....). You might want to add in a few 'print "Got this 
far\n";' lines in to see what's not working.
