OK - I'm a moron, account had /bin/false for a shell - duh
and it turned out that thought I had things like xorg-xfs xorg-libs xorg-xauth installed, I didn't have xorg-x11 installed - duh deux
minimal install was a pretty minimal install ;-)

My interest is actually trying to remotely run a vnc session to a different computer.
I connect to it via ssh # ssh -XC -p XXXX root@fqdn
and then run vncviewer # vncviewer 192.168.1.253:0
VNC viewer for X version 4.0 - built Feb 21 2005 15:39:30 Copyright (C) 2002-2004 RealVNC Ltd. See http://www.realvnc.com for information on VNC. vncviewer: unable to open display ""
so I was thinking I would try to set up vncserver as the user on that machine but unable to su to a shell for that user means I can't run vncpassword for that user.
;-(
Anyone want to toss me a bone on any of these issues (I have been reading SELinux notes at Fedora 3
