I'm really sorry that I didn't get this right the first time. I am coming from a Novell background and I saw the vncserver file in the /etc/init.d directory and didn't realize that I needed create a symbolic link to it in /etc/rc3.d/. When I restarted the server with this link in place, I could not log in at the console when XDM started. When I removed the link, I could log in just fine. In both cases, I could login fine when (via XDMCP) from the diskless xterm that I am testing with. I guess I missed another step in there. Really, I just want VNC to start automatically and I would like for half a dozen users to have access to it.
My other problem is that if I logon and start vncserver from the console prompt (or from rc.local when I tried it there) it seemed to leave "pooplets" behind in the /tmp/.X11-unix directory. There is a K file in the /etc/rc3.d directory so I think that it should be shutting down but apparently it is not. Oh, this is an RH 7.2 installation and I am using the VNC that came with that.
