Short notes on how to run VNCserver under CentOS 5
1. install the app
#> sudo yum install vnc-server
2. create a password file
#> vncpasswd password
3. edit vnc config file
#> sudo vi /etc/sysconfig/vncserver
VNCSERVERS="1:yourusername"
- uncomment this if you want to force VNC connections only via SSH tunnel
#VNCSERVERARGS[1]="-geometry 800×600 -nolisten tcp -nohttpd -localhost"
4. start vncserver
#> sudo service vncserver start
Tweaks : what ever vnc start for you is in $HOME/.vnc/xstartup,uncomment the following two lines to have your default desktop
#unset SESSION_MANAGER # exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
