I have an installation of RHEL5.10 (2.6.18-371.11.1.el5) with vncserver:
# rpm -qa | grep vnc
libvncserver-0.9.7-2.el5
vnc-server-4.1.2-14.el5_6.6
x11vnc-0.9.13-8.el5
While my other installations of same versions do source /etc/profile and ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash_profile, this server ignores it.
Where should I look in order to find what is missing?
Generally, when started by a normal user, VNC reads ~/.vnc/xstartup for its initialization. This is just a shell script, so you can put your environment settings, variables, and other configuration options there, as well as executing or sourcing other shell scripts as necessary.
