OK, first time configuring vncserver on Centos7. I have read through a
bunch of old messages here on vncserver and thought I had it. Obviously
not.
1) cp /usr/lib/systemd/system/vncserver@.service
/etc/systemd/system/vncserver@.service
2) vi /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@.service
I changed <USER> in both places to root
3) systemctl daemon-reload
4) systemctl enable vncserver@:3.service
5) vncpasswd
To create /root/.vnc/passwd
6) systemctl start vncserver@:3.service
# systemctl -l status vncserver@:3
● vncserver@:3.service - Remote desktop service (VNC)
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/vncserver@.service; enabled;
