ENVIRONMENT FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE TightVNC 1.2.8 PROBLEM Getting error: "Starting local daemons:vncserver: couldn't find "xauth" on your PATH." SITUATION I installed tightvnc-1.2.8 from the port collection and configure /etc/rc.local to start a vncserver for a specific user at startup using the following command: su <username> -c "/usr/X11R6/bin/vncserver :1 -depth 8 -geometry 800x600" When this tries to start at boot up I get the above error. If I start it from the command line it works fine. This sounds like an issue with the defined PATH at bootup but I've not been able to find anything explaining how to define this PATH in the FreeBSD handbook or otherwise.
