Steve, that worked great with minor modifications for AIX. One more obstacle is getting the session to REQUEST the login ID and password. Right now it is logging me directly into the XSESSION. Any way to have the session startup at the login screen? And not automatically login?
Looking for extra security? If this works we plan on purchasing the Enterprise version...

The best wat to do this is to use the instructions for setting up inetd. Read the RealVNC website for info on doing this. Instead of going that route, I simply replaced the ~/.vnc/xstartup file with a customized one that didn't launch twm, but rather launches CDE on Solaris and GNOME on Linux.

If you mean "my usual desktop environment", then that is controlled by the user's ~/.vnc/xstartup script - by default this runs the twm window manager and an xterm but it's intended to be customised to run whatever desktop environment the user prefers.
