Ben,

Slick documentation! I feel much better now knowing that my VNC ports are closed and now flowing through port 22. Richard

Yeah there are a couple of other things that I found out when I started  
using it on my boxes instead of exporting X over SSH.  fire up a terminal  
session on your FC box in any manner you choose (ssh, telnet, etc) and run  
vcnpasswd. 
    

It's not a good idea to use telnet.  SSH is *much* better.  Also, I have a 
quicky howto on tunneling VNC over ssh using PuTTY.

Doing it this way also means that you can keep the firewall closed to the 
vnc ports and only allow ssh through.  much more secure. :)
