more Fedora Cookbook: VNC

[Nikhil]

>>
On Fedora/RHEL clones I like to configure vnc thus:
[summer at potoroo ~]$ tail /etc/sysconfig/vncservers
# Use "-nohttpd" to prevent web-based VNC clients connecting.

# Use "-localhost" to prevent remote VNC clients connecting except when
# doing so through a secure tunnel.  See the "-via" option in the
# `man vncviewer' manual page.

VNCSERVERS="66:root 3:summer"
VNCSERVERARGS[3]="-geometry 1280x1024"
VNCSERVERARGS[66]="-geometry 1280x1024"
<<

Does the above VNCSERVERS declaration mean to limit the number of vncservers
to be 66... can it be increased if yes, how much beyond?
