The vncserver command is just a perl script. If you take a look at the script itself you will see that specifying ":5" is just used to calculate the port number, it has no significance beyond that. Since you manually specified a port number, the ":5" is basically ignored. I take part of that back. It does appear to also be used for the naming of the log file. -- William Hooper
