users must set a password....
# su - SOME_USER
$ vncpasswd
I would recommend that you use /etc/sysconfig/vncserver
something like this...
VNCSERVERS="1:craig"
ARGS="-geometry 800x600 -depth 8 -alwaysshared "
and also something like this in this users home directory
$ cat ~/.Xclients-default
#! /bin/bash
# Created by Red Hat Desktop Switcher
WM="startkde"
WMPATH="/usr/bin /opt/bin /usr/local/bin /usr/X11R6/bin"
for p in $WMPATH ; do
[ -x $p/$WM ] && exec $p/$WM
done
exit 1
