Just read what the comment is telling you. You need to change "myusername" to the user that you want the X server to run as. Then vncpasswd to set a password for the server. e.g. For user bob: VNCSERVERS="1:bob" vncpasswd bob bobspassword It should then work, just vnc to x.x.x.x:1 . Don't worry about the port (5800), the client should get that right by default. (cc'd to the list so that everyone can benefit.)
