so this is what I did in centos 6 tonight to make it work for me...
as root
yum install tigervnc-server
ran vncpasswd, added a password
/etc/sysconfig/vncservers, uncommented line 18 and 19, added root
started and stopped, service vncserver start / stop
opened port 5902 in iptables, restarted iptables
|INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 5902 -j ACCEPT
service vncserver start
downloaded tigervnc from source forge
download putty
in putty I made a saved session called 'vnc to my server'
went to connections, ssh, tunnels in putty explorer
added source port, 5902
destination I put in localhost:5902
click add
then save the whole session (go back to session page)
open a putty session (click open), making sure it was my vnc session
logged into server
opened tigervnc
put in localhost:5902 and hit ok.
I was in like flynn...
awesome. so much faster than ipmi
