Oh ok. That is why it is not working. You must execute the command 
vncserver. This will start a vncserver for you. At time of execution you 
must be the user you wish to run the vncsession as. It will probably ask 
you for a vnc password (if this is your first time) which is independent 
of any passwords in /etc/passwd. Once the server is instantiated, it 
will tell you which display to use (again, if none running this will be 
:1). You can then precede to either use vncviewer <host or ip>:1, a 
java-enabled web browser,  or tsclient. Whichever you prefer.
