problems with starting vnc using xinetd

[Steven Dahlin]

I have created a vnc startup/shutdown script in the /etc/init.d directory
and enabled it with insserv.  I have tried several variants but encounter a
couple problems which are not mentioned in various responses on the list.
First if I call vncserver directly like so:

case "$1" in
 start)
   vncserver :2

Then it requests a password.

If instead I execute the following:

   su - root -c "vncserver :2"

Then I get back a message that there is no valid license.  However, when run
from the prompt it works perfectly fine.  I also added "vnclicense -list"
and it came back with a message that there were no licenses.  I have also
set it so the vnc script is called last by xinetd.

None of the examples seems to cover these possibilities.  Does anyone have
any suggestions?
