There are some variants. http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp 
describes not the default setup but it is my personal favorite. It focusses on 
RH7 but can be setup on many other machines.

If `Xvnc :4 -query localhost` gives a login box with `vncviewer machine:4` then 
you only need to update /etc/services and one of inetd or xinetd.

After that, everyone gets a session at `vncviewer machine:50` (or higher number 
for other geometries) with a login.

Only disadvantage (if you call it a disadvantate) is that the vnc sessions are 
single use.
