Sorry Ed.  I have tried and removed so many different combinations that
I am now double thinking a simple instruction.

My latest attempt:

        /etc/sysconfig/vncservers
        VNCSERVERS="1:bill"
        VNCSERVERARGS[1]="-geometry 800x600 -nolisten tcp -localhost"

]# service vncserver restart
Shutting down VNC server:                                  [  OK  ]
Starting VNC server: 1:bill                                [FAILED]

( I have tried 0 and 2, 0 gives me
]# service vncserver start
Starting VNC server: 0:root A VNC server is already running as :0
                                                           [FAILED]
]# vncviewer  (I get a screen asking for VNC server but no answer
satisfies.  Tried name/address (192.168.1.7) of other machine and get --
main:        unable connect to socket: No route to host (113))
