I found out (the hard way) that the new Xvnc does NEED a security setting, it 
does not default to no-security.

Hence, update the options to Xvnc (in /etc/inetd.conf or /etc/xinetd.d/vnc) and 
add " -SecurityTypes none" to them.

For the users with the older viewers and access problems, there is a new option 
to fall back to version 3 usage. Check documentation on the website for details.

(sorry Kevin, I missed your first post, I hope you find this message).
