I've mounted my RedHat 6.2 disk and the memories are starting
to come back (pun intended).

RedHat now has xinetd, 6.2 uses inetd.conf. Either way, you
need vnc in /etc/services:

"vnc	5950/tcp		# VNC server"

/etc/inetd.conf:

"vnc stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/local/Xvnc Xvnc -inetd \
 -query *hostname* -geometry 1024x768 -depth 24"

/etc/xinetd.d/vnc:

"service vnc
{
    socket_type  = stream
    protocol     = tcp
    wait         = no
    user         = nobody
    server       = /usr/local/Xvnc
    server_args  = -inetd -query *hostname* -geometry......
    log_on_success += USERID
    log_on_failure += USERID
    disable       = no
}"

/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf:

"[xdmcp]
Enable=1"

There's more, it's still coming to me....
