I executed these commands and rebooted:
         chkconfig --add vncserver
         chkconfig --levels 345 vncserver on
I then verified that vncserver had been executed by inspecting /var/boot/log
("vncserver startup succeeded")
However, the server was not working for some reason (connect failure from 
Win PC).
When I manually entered "vncserver", it worked fine.
So I can only assume that it was not run *correctly* on startup.
This is /etc/rc.d/init.d/vncserver:
#!/bin/bash
#
# chkconfig: - 91 35
# description: Starts and stops vncserver. \
#              used to provide remote X administration services.

# Source function library.
. /etc/init.d/functions

# Source networking configuration.
. /etc/sysconfig/network

# Check that networking is up.
[ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ] && exit 0

VNCSERVERS=""
[ -f /etc/sysconfig/vncservers ] && . /etc/sysconfig/vncservers

prog=$"VNC server"

start() {
     echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
     ulimit -S -c 0 >/dev/null 2>&1
     RETVAL=0
     for display in ${VNCSERVERS}
     do
         echo -n "${display} "
         unset BASH_ENV ENV
         initlog $INITLOG_ARGS -c \
             "su ${display##*:} -c \"cd ~${display##*:} && [ -f .vnc/passwd 
] && vncserver :${display%%:*}\""
         RETVAL=$?
         [ "$RETVAL" -ne 0 ] && break
     done
     [ "$RETVAL" -eq 0 ] && success $"vncserver startup" || \
         failure $"vncserver start"
     echo
     [ "$RETVAL" -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/vncserver
}

stop() {
     echo -n $"Shutting down $prog: "
     for display in ${VNCSERVERS}
     do
         echo -n "${display} "
         unset BASH_ENV ENV
         initlog $INITLOG_ARGS -c \
             "su ${display##*:} -c \"vncserver -kill 
:${display%%:*}\" >/dev/null 2>&1"
     done
     RETVAL=$?
     [ "$RETVAL" -eq 0 ] && success $"vncserver shutdown" || \
         failure $"vncserver shutdown"
     echo
     [ "$RETVAL" -eq 0 ] && rm -f /var/lock/subsys/vncserver
}

# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
   start)
         start
         ;;
   stop)
         stop
         ;;
   restart|reload)
         stop
         start
         ;;
   condrestart)
         if [ -f /var/lock/subsys/vncserver ]; then
             stop
             start
         fi
         ;;
   status)
         status Xvnc
         ;;
   *)
         echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|condrestart|status}"
         exit 1

Any ideas ?
Thanks,
