I've set the firewall off when I installed RHL 8 and also
just 'reset' it using the gnome utility. (I don't know what
config files to examine.
Here's some more detail:
I've installed VNC (the distro) that came with red hat and I
use the Gnome desktop.
I had problems getting the vncserver script to work until
I added the 'unset session-manager' just before the last
line in the .vnc/xstartup script that gets created in the root
directory. Now I can get a session running remotely.
However, this is not quite the setup I was trying to implement.
I have been using a file in the xinetd.d directory such as:
service vnc-800x600x16
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/bin/Xvnc
server_args = -inetd -query 127.0.0.1 -once -geometry 800x600 -depth 16
}
I also make an entry in the etc/services file like:
vnc-800x600x16 5960/tcp (something like that)
What used to happen in redhat 7x was that the vnc remote client
would communicate with port 5960 and xinetd would execute the
Xvnc program with the server arguments above. One would get
a remote logon screen that would let you log into the linux box
and get a gnome desktop.
However, it seems that Xvnc is refusing the connection for some
reason. I changed the Xsession file to " * #allow all remote logins"
but it seems like there might be another mod I need to make somewhere
to allow Xvnc to grant a remote session.
However, I have no idea where that might be.
I can test port 5960 and it does seem to be open (use telnet localhost 5960)

Have you checked that your firewall settings are not preventing the
connection you want?
