I have an FC6 dom0 running on a headless server.  I want to install a
CentOS 4.4 domU with a console accessed using vnc from a remote machine.
I *think* I should be able to do this from my understanding of the
documentation.

I've configured a domU to boot from an ISO image to do the CentOS
install and run xm create.  netstat on dom0 shows there's a listener
on 0.0.0.0:5900, but I am unable to connect using vnc from my remote
system.  vncviewer reports "connection refused".  dom0 is not running
any firewalling and the relevant parts of the domU config file are:

  vnc = 1
  vnclisten='0.0.0.0'
  vncconsole = 0

Any ideas what I need to do to make it work?

James
