Er, how do you mean "run it as a service"?  If you simply run Xvnc, it
should create the necessary stuff and detatch.  You should then be able
to get at it from any client if your firewall allows it.

If you want to run Xvnc from xinetd, make sure you specify the "-inetd"
option in the "serverargs =" bit.

Also, make sure you use the ":displaynumber" stuff on the host name if
the display is anything but ":0" or it surely won't work.
