any way to make vncserver/Xvnc to run following a reboot without first logging on and executing a command?
/etc/sysconfig/vncserver will set up dedicated sessions for the users on your system, already logged in and persistent between disconnects.
Or you can kick off Xvnc from inetd to get the gdm/kdm/xdm login screen, with a new session being created on the fly for each connection into inetd and being destroyed upon disconnection.
I use both methods, but the latter method is quite popular at work and has saved my employer thousands that would have otherwise been spent on either Hummingbird Exceed licenses or a second desktop computer for Linux (the primary desktop platform is and probably will remain Windows).
