Looks nice. I hope you used the RedHat rpms (from the distro).

don't...
This is a unix feature, not to be answered from a vnc perspective. On RedHat
(and other linux & unix)) you should never login with root, always as a
normal user. Give every user his/her own account. Then, there are several
ways to grant users access. Including 'sticky-bit', 's-bin', `su`, `super`,
`sudo`.

vncserver package on RedHat does something like this. the setup as on
http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp just starts a
vncserver on connect and removes it on disconnect.

Not use something like windows, it has a horrible security administration.
Start giving every user his/her own account. Then see tools like `su`,
`super`, `sudo`. There are others too. Only superior sys-admins should have
the root password.
