I have setup VNC using the vncserver script on both Linux and AIX no problem.

I have setup VNC under inetd on Redhat 7.3 no problem.
I have setup VNC under inetd on AIX PROBLEM. <grin>
I ran xdmconf to switch from CDE in favor of xdm. When I log on locally all is well.

When I launch the viewer I get the ever popular gray background with cursor. (No login 
screen)
After approximately 3 mins the viewer disconnects with the following error.

ReadExact: Socket error while reading.

When I telnet to server:5631...I get the RFB 003.003 at first then approximately 3mins 
later...
" too many retransmissions"

Before the error.... ps -ef|grep Xvnc reveals inetd has launched following...

  nobody 13010  3932   0 11:41:40      -  0:00 Xvnc -inetd -broadcast -once -geometry 
1024x768 -depth 16 -rfbport 5631 -fp 
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/ibm850/

I attempted to use -query localhost instead of broadcast but when viewer is launched 
it immediately fails. 
(could this be telling me something)
I also tried running it as root.  No joy.

Nmap shows 177 and vncserver are listnening.  (I'm running the server on 5631 for 
firewall reasons.)

Any suggestions where to look?  error files I may not be aware of etc...
Encouragement accepted as well.
