I have a problem with VNC, and as it is 1:30 am and I have the flu, its probably me skipping over some documentation somewhere :D But my question involves xauth..

here is what happens when I try to execute "vncserver"..

Code:
moonunit root # vncserver
vncserver: couldn't find "xauth" on your PATH.


I am running vnc-3.3.5-r1.

Any help is appreciated..
thanks
binary
