    I'm using CentOS 6.8 on Sierra, and I've installed the tigervnc-server-module. Since Xorg 1.17.4 (which I'm running) likes to auto-configure, I've had to ask it for a static configuration by running "Xorg -configure" from run-level 2 so I could see what it thinks my configuration is.
    I moved the file /root/xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and edited it accordingly.
    To the "Module" section I've added:
    Code:
    Section "Module"
        ...
        Load "vnc"
    EndSection
    and to the "Screen" section I've added:
    Code:
    Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        ...
        Option "SecurityTypes" "None"
    EndSection
    and then changed run-level to 5 to start the X server.
    However, when I try to connect to it, I see that the "vnc" module hasn't taken the SecurityTypes parameter:
    Code:
    [philipp@centos6 ~]$ vncviewer -log "*:stderr:100" -Shared :0

     CConnection: processing security result message
     CConnection: auth failed
     main:  No password configured for VNC Auth
    [philipp@centos6 ~]$
    because it's offering me SecurityType VncAuth per above.
    Has anyone else managed to get the console X section mirrored by VNC? Can you post how you did in a reply?
    Thanks,
    -Philip
