Can you have Linux start multiple user's servers on boot?

Question ... I have done this in RHL 7.2:

   If you have an RPM-based system, use the Red Hat Linux 7.2 vnc
package. It comes with an initscript that reads
/etc/sysconfig/vncservers. Put the names in there (like the example).

and put in a line VNCSERVERS="1:scott"

However, every time I reboot, vncserver starts up and creates a new entry 
in /tmp/.X11-unix  X0 X1 X2 X3 etc. and I have to connect remotely using 
the latest number  i.e. vnc to 192.168.1.100:3.  Are the Xn's supposed to 
be cleaned up somehow ?  How is this done ?
