When I run system-config-services, it shows vncserver set to

in /etc/inittab I have init 3
vncserver does not start at boot.
I log in on the console as root and
service vncserver start
and it starts with some warning messages about bad display name
in "add" command, but I do not see where these are logged to copy
them into this message.
Once I start it from the console, I have trouble using the vnc
client to access the server.
I really need for the vncserver to start at boot, as I want it to
run in a place with no monitor or keyboard....

I don't recall there being an issue vs runlevel 3 or 5
First off, nx is a much better way to go
yeah, but that will take a bit of work. At least when I look at it
back in the summer, it was not just a drop in as vnc has ALMOST been.
Anyway...what's contents of /etc/sysconfig/vncserver ? Is it
configured?
Only thing I have configured is the vncservers= line
and for ~/.vnc I have run vncpasswd to set the password and edited
the xstartup file to run gnome instead of X:
For Gnome, replace "twm &" with "exec gnome-session &"
also uncommented the two lines in xstartup for 'normal desktop'.
Didn't notice any difference though,

service vncserver restart should be all that you need then
And how do I do that without logging into the console? My goal is I
boot the system up, and then over the network I remote into the
server. I suppose I could 'cheat' and have webmin running....
"chkconfig vncserver --list" should tell you if it is set to start at
runlevel 3, and "chkconfig vncserver on" should make it start on boot
at level 3, 4 and 5.
OK. --list showed only 5:on, doing the chkconfig vncserver on turned 2-4
on as well. So I will reboot the box and see how it runs!
