I hope the following helps, it worked for me...
- Install tightvnc-1.2.9-i486-1kjz.tgz;
- Run /usr/bin/vncpasswd as each user who will be using VNC;
- Create /etc/rc.d/rc.vncserver with the following content:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
#
# description: Starts and stops vncserver. \
# used to provide remote X administration services.
unset VNCSERVERARGS
VNCSERVERS="1:pkitest 2:steve 3:oracle"
VNCSERVERARGS[1]="-geometry 1152x864"
VNCSERVERARGS[2]="-geometry 1152x864"
VNCSERVERARGS[3]="-geometry 1152x864"
start() {
echo -n $"Starting VNC server: "
ulimit -S -c 0 >/dev/null 2>&1
if [ ! -d /tmp/.X11-unix ]
then
mkdir -m 1777 /tmp/.X11-unix || :
fi
for display in ${VNCSERVERS}
do
echo -n "${display} "
unset BASH_ENV ENV
DISP="${display%%:*}"
export USER="${display##*:}"
export VNCUSERARGS="${VNCSERVERARGS[${DISP}]}"
su - ${USER} -c "cd ~${USER} && [ -f .vnc/passwd ] && vncserver :${DISP} ${VNCUSERARGS}"
done
}
stop() {
echo -n $"Shutting down VNC server: "
for display in ${VNCSERVERS}
do
echo -n "${display} "
unset BASH_ENV ENV
export USER="${display##*:}"
su ${USER} -c "vncserver -kill :${display%%:*}" >/dev/null 2>&1
done
}
# See how we were called.

The script sets up some environment for the user and then su's to each user to start up their instance.
- Add `/etc/rc.d/rc.vncserver start` to the startup scripts
