John,

I'm there! I set the password on the Linux box (vncpasswd) and it works
fine.

I really appreciate your input.

Regards,

Mark

Yes, if you start VNC server from the local console, you will be prompted
for a password, but no username, as it starts a new session as the user who
was logged in when it started. If you want VNC to ask for a username, you
will need to investigate the inetd option or use one of the various methods
of remoting the local console, aka x:0.
