Non-Persistant VNC sessions

Good Morning,
  I am currently using RHEL 5.1 and I am unable to set up non-persistent VNC
sessions.  This could be done in RHEL 3 and 4 previously.  Currently
the only way I can set up VNC sessions is by modifying the
/etc/sysconfig/vncservers file.  This is fine for the short term but we prefer
that users
log out at the end of a session; that users do not use persistent VNC sessions
since they will often leave orphaned processes.

  In RHEL 3 and 4, I would add entries to /etc/services corresponding to the
ports I wished to have open and then have the corresponding entries in
/etc/xinetd/xvncserver file, /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf file, /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess
and xdm.conf file.  One of the issues I also see in RHEL 5 is that xdm does
not seem to exist anymore (and yes, I know gdm is now /etc/gdm).

  Any help on setting up non-persistant VNC sessions on RHEL 5.1 would be most
appreciated.

Thank you.

Tom
