vncserver service

why does the vncserver default service script not work on bootup? i have it starting on boot but i still have to drop to shell and run "vncserver" then all works fine?

It may not start if it does not find the interfaces up or is starting up too early in the boot process.

You may want to either change it's priority...

(I usually do this manually by renaming /etc/rc.5/SxxSERVICE to /etc/rc.5/S99Service, you get the picture...)

This causes it to start last..

Another option is to start it from /etc/rc.d/rc.local by adding a line at the end.

if i add it in there does it save my password file i already made on a reboot?

It shouldn't affect anything else.

It's no different than starting it from the command line.
