Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am far from a linux guru > If this were windows I'd insert a call to a batch file in the autoexec Something like: su - user -c "vncserver" shoud do it, where user is the name of the user under whose logon you want to run vncserver. It also assumes that vncserver and the various x programs needed (like xauth) are in the login.defs path settings. Insert this line into your startup script. The location/name of this will depend on which distro you are using. Make sure you include the dashes above.
