Description of problem:
-----------------------
It is desired to be able to control the VNC services in such a way to only 
have the native VNC server exposed. Options are incorporated into the standard 
startup scripts to allow control over the X11 and java-vnc HTTP services 
getting exposed to the external interface (The X11 service will always be 
exposed to at least the loopback interface).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHAS

How reproducible:
Apply attached patch, and decided what externally-facing daemons you want 
running for VNC services.

Steps to Reproduce:
N/A - normal operation of software
  
Actual results:
---------------
Specifying VNC arguments in /etc/sysconfig/vncservers one can decide to 

Case I: Supresses invokation of http vnc-java/5800-9 daemons/service
VNCSERVERARGS[1]="-nohttpd" ()

Case II: Supress invocation of X11/6000-9 listeners and vnc-java/5800-9
VNCSERVERARGS[1]="-nohttpd -nolisten tcp"

Expected results:
-----------------
Once can confirm the server hardening is stricter when these options are used 
by searching for running VNC services on the first 10 screens via

'nmap -sT -p 5800-9,5900-9,6000-9'


Additional info:
Basically this patch does nothing but allow the user more flexibility to 
control the startup options to Xvnc in a better fasion that is currently done. 
The fix is for RHAS4/Fedora scripts.
