you have to login root user


[root@mon ~]# vncserver

New 'mon.test.com:1 (root)' desktop is mon.test.com:1

Starting applications specified in /root/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /root/.vnc/mon.test.com:1.log

[root@mon~]# vim /root/.vnc/xstartup
#!/bin/sh

# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
# unset SESSION_MANAGER
# exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
twm &

#------EoL-----------------
you have to uncomment the 2 line


unset SESSION_MANAGER
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc


do not change any other
[root@mon~]#service vncserver restart

set your passwd
[root@mon~]#vncpasswd


then login from your clint system from vnc

example:
172.16.2.1:1
