There are 2 different approaches to start vnc at unix boot.

The first one is to start one or more static vnc-sessions. You can do 
this by hand but the better way to do this is to configure your desktop 
environment in such a way that Xvnc (the binary started from vncserver) 
as a X11-server, just like X.org or Xfree86. See your cde, kde, gnome or 
other desktop environment configuration on how to do this. I've done it 
in the past (a couple of years ago) for both HP-UX (cde) and Linux 
(gnome and kde) and I've posted results on this list so check the archives.

The second one is to start vnc-sessions from inet (or xinet) at the 
moment users connect to the machine. These sessions are closed after you 
disconnect from them, so there are no stale vnc-sessions hanging around.
