The 58xx ports fire up a java version of the VNC viewer so you can
use VNC inside a web browser.

um ... so the 58xx ports are listening specifically only for
java-based VNC viewers that are being invoked from within a browser?
No, it's a java-implemented http proxy.
It's in the docs.

I'd call it an http server that offers to download a java applet that runs on the client - it doesn't need java on the server.

Is there a 'complete' guide to VNC anyhere? Other ways of running it include the X module that serves connections to the local console screen and letting xinetd start login sessions/desktops on demand as implemented in the vncts package. Are there more?
