    Hmmm, just tried editing that file and specifying a different port,
    restarted, and the vnc server continues to run on tcp port 5900 (I had
    previously thought it was 5800).

    If I stop the server, I do an nmap afterwards and it's still
    running/listening and I can connect with a client.

    /etc/init.d/vncserver stop

    Shutting down VNC server: [ OK ]

    [root@localhost don]# nmap -sT -O localhost

    Starting nmap 3.70 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2005-03-28 21:29 EST
