Method 1:
Server starts, but when I try to connect using Chicken of the VNC on a Mac, I get a "Could not connect to server hda:1 Connection refused: connect()" error.
Method 2:
When I get to the last step to restart the xinetd service, I get the following error "xinetd: unrecognized service".

# The VNCSERVERS variable is a list of display:user pairs.

# Uncomment the lines below to start a VNC server on display :2
# as my 'myusername' (adjust this to your own). You will also
# need to set a VNC password; run 'man vncpasswd' to see how
# to do that.
#
# DO NOT RUN THIS SERVICE if your local area network is
# untrusted! For a secure way of using VNC, see
# <URL:http://www.uk.research.att.com/archive/vnc/sshvnc.html>.
# Use "-nolisten tcp" to prevent X connections to your VNC server via TCP.
# 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.
