VNC not working

If you start VNC server as a service, what user will it be run as? And,
does that user have an entry in /etc/passwd that specifies the shell
correctly and not as /sbin/nologin, or /bin/false.
It makes sense to start VNC server as a real user as below...

I never start vncserver as service. So elaborating what Wade was saying:
1. login to box as your own user
2. Type 'vncserver' and put in new password for VNC session when asked.
It
will then tell you the X display number for that session, assuming
you're the
first one who tried vncserver in your box, it will be 1
3. From another machine that has vncviewer, point the viewer to <your
vnc_server IP>:1 put in password.
