Yes, that is so, but for reduced -support it is MUCH to prefer that
a script handles it all. Also, it would make it more reliable for the
user. Even more, the simpler it is, the more they are going to use it.
Me, being a knowledged user, have no problem getting my vnc connection
to run, but the less technology knowing users stall easily and I want
to prevent that.

Also, we had to move the ports to 6300 and up (display :400 and up) as
we were running out of display numbers on the server (it is serving a
large number of sunray sessions besides vnc sessions). This also means
the users can't use default port/display numbers as they are referenced
in documents found via google. But basically we want to make it simple,
both for the users and for the supporters.
