I installed this same RPM and am having a problem getting the server 
to run at all.  I have tried running 'vncserver' both as root and as 
my regular user account.  In each case I get a log that looks like 
this:
-----

I tried downloading and compiling the source from att labs, but that 
craps out too.

A linux guru froend offered the following observation before he had 
to leave for the day: "this version runs *the* initrc file for your 
system (which non-root users can't do)"

I'm not 100% sure what that means, but I get the same log whether I 
run as "me" or as root.  Is there a TerraSoft-sanctioned RPM of VNC 
for YDL 2.1 I can snarf from somewhere?
