How do I use VNC through my firewall?

A VNC session is owned by the user that starts the session.  If you run
"vncserver" as root, the whole session belongs to root.  If you run
"vncserver" as ryan, the whole session belongs to ryan.

Passwords also are dependent on what user starts the VNC server.  Check
out the "files" section of the vncserver man page, and the "-rfbauth"
option in the Xvnc man page.
