No, it seems that with Fedora it is a service called vino-server that runs the vnc that takes care of access on port 5900, how that gets started is anyones guess. I have a way forward in that I will configure vncserver on, say, port 5902, connect to it and then run vino-preferences to check the config and make sure it is setup correctly, though I did run this for some time while I completed the installation of this box before deployment?<br>

by default: off. (disable = yes).<br>
