XVNC Port Change

I have XVnc installed and use it from time to time to do things on my desktop when I'm away from the room and I'm curious. KDE had a built-in configuration utility for VNC, but I've recently started using Gnome and I'm wondering, now that I've un-installed KDE, how do I go about changing my xvnc password or, more specifically, the port number it runs on?

Is there no config file for it somewhere in /etc/[program-name] ?

Couldn't find any with "locate xvnc". There's probably one somewhere that I'm just overlooking.

ok, how about

Code:

man Xvnc

or

Code:

Xvnc -help

locate is case-sensitive. try # locate Xvnc

I don't remember for sure, but I believe such settings are saved in a hidden folder (name starts with a '.') in the user directory. See if there is a .vnc or .xvnc folder in your home.
