All I ever do is install vncserver, run vncpasswd on the account(s) I
will configure in it, add to /etc/sysconfig/vncserver
VNCSERVERS="1:user1 2:user2"
then enable 5901 and 5902 in iptables and it works. I also tend to
replace twn with exec gnome-session in the ~/.vnc/xstart file.
Then all you have are network firewall and transport security issues.
Last I looked, vncpasswd only accepted the first 8 characters and
ignored the rest.
