Automatically Starting VNC-server

[George Gambill]

Correct me if I am wrong or missing a better way.

It seems that if I start vncserver from root (RH8), I must use the root
password to start vncviewer (Windows 2000).
If I start vncserver from user1 (RH8), I must use the user1 password to
start vncviewer (Windows 2000).

I infer from this that someone needs to be logged in the server to start
vncserver.  Did I miss something?

Assuming the above is true, is there a way to start vncserver automatically
when user1 logs in?

If the above is not a valid assumption, what is the best way?

Thanks in advance.
