    Step 1
    You need to modify /etc/sysconfig/vncservers
    Here you would put the desktop number and name. The name is a user on
    the system.

    VNCSERVERS="2:someuser"

    Step 2 run chkconfig and make sure vncserver is enabled and on the
    levels you wanted it to run on.

    Step 3

    As root

    su - someuser

    Run vncpasswd and generate a vnc password

    Step 4
    Start vnc
    service vncserver start
