import expects exportfs to be running on the other side. it should be fine
by just redirecting the exportfs port. if that's what you want to achieve.

in my case that usually means i've gotten the authdoms in /lib/ndb/local on
the auth server wrong. can you cpu from the same machine to itself? try that
with 'auth/debug' and see what's wrong.

you do not, vncs is smart enough to use the password already set for the
user on the auth server. do you have a password set?

another thing, suggested some time ago by Geoff Collyer -- cd /adm/keys on
the console of the auth server and type 'ls' -- if you see valid user names
for the system you're ok, of not, the nvram on the system doesn't contain
the proper password to decode the password..

but: my auth server was set a few months ago, so i may be out of sync...
