VNC Connection aborts with no error message

[bruce]

how are you starting the vncserver? are you doing it manually from the
command line 'vncserver' are you starting the server as 'root' or some other
user?

i can't recall where the vncserver log files are located, but are able to
look at them and let us know what they say. are you coming into the server
on the standard vnc ip ports?

Did you stop the service iptables for testing purposes? And why does a
server need a graphical ui? :-)
