If a unix user (root or an other) starts `vncserver` for the first time, it has to type a new password for the session. This password is used for every `vncserver` started by that user and has to be used from the vncviewer that connects to it. > > I infer from this that someone needs to be logged in the > server to start vncserver. Did I miss something? That's the default configuration. With that default configuration, you can leave the vncserver running forever and connect every time you like. RedHat comes with some scripts (in the init area) that can be configured to start a vncserver for selected users. This users must have run `vncserver` at least once to generate their password. > > Assuming the above is true, is there a way to start vncserver > automatically when user1 logs in? Yes: http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp . It obsoletes every user specific configuration. You don't need a vnc-password anymore, use the unix account. > > If the above is not a valid assumption, what is the best way? I prefer http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp .
