I'd like to agree with William's statement that, if VNC is installed
system-wide in /usr/bin, that changing the permissions on Xvnc is the
right way to go. You could also customize your vncserver script to test
for the user ID and print a message that says only root can run VNC.
But this is really security through obscurity, since users can download
and run their own versions of VNC from their home directory, /tmp, etc.
Don't underestimate the users of your computing infrastructure; many
times, they will find a way to run the programs they want.
