I think you should look at sun2 since that is where it looks like your
problems lie; as already suggested, xauthentication would be a good place to
start.
I have had some problems using vnc on solaris but it was a long time ago and
I have no notes to hand.  I found that you need to ensure that you are using
a particular shell (csh IIRC) and have certain environment variables set up
correctly (?).  You should be able to sort this out by looking at the vnc
log files and/or startup scripts which vnc creates in a directory called
.vnc (again IIRC).

Good luck, sorry to be so vague, if I can find more info I will send it.
