Each instance of a vncserver has a different display associated to it:
  :1
  :2
  :3
Each server started by the same user has the same passwd unless
vnspasswd is
  run.
So your best solution is to have each of your users start their own
vncserver
  and then each vncserver has its own passwd.
The user will only have to note which display they started:
  % vncserver
  xauth:  creating new authority file /home/dsweet/.Xauthority
 
  New 'X' desktop is march:2
 
  Starting applications specified in /home/dsweet/.vnc/xstartup
  Log file is /home/dsweet/.vnc/march:2.log
 
  % vncserver
 
  New 'X' desktop is march:3
 
  Starting applications specified in /home/dsweet/.vnc/xstartup
  Log file is /home/dsweet/.vnc/march:3.log
 
  % vncserver -kill :2
  Killing Xvnc process ID 9923
  % vncserver -kill :3
  Killing Xvnc process ID 9942
  %

That is all.
