Hmmm, just tried editing that file and specifying a different port,
restarted, and the vnc server continues to run on tcp port 5900 (I had
previously thought it was 5800).
If I stop the server, I do an nmap afterwards and it's still
running/listening and I can connect with a client.
/etc/init.d/vncserver stop
Shutting down VNC server: [ OK ]
[root at localhost don]# nmap -sT -O localhost
