vncserver works when started as user, but not as root.

It's listening for VNC connections from localhost on port 5901 (because you
specified "-localhost" on the service command-line), and it's not listening
for X11 connections on port 6001 (because you specified "-nolisten tcp" on
the
command-line".  Robin's suggestion of simply removing "-localhost" is
probably
what you want, assuming the aim is to make the box accessible via VNC within
your LAN.

James and Robin,

Thank you for your help. I removed the "-localhost" option and it solved my
problem. I had simply taken the default values in the vncservers file. I
should have paid more attention to the arguments.
