Unfortunately, the VNC built into OS-X Leopard crashes (after drawing one screen) when used with standard VNC clients. The only VNC client that I know of which works with it (according to other people) is called "Chicken Of The VNC" (http://sourceforge.net/projects/cotvnc/) and it is Mac only. The OS-X VNC session initiation is non-conformant with the VNC specification from the RealVNC folks. I installed an alternative VNC server on OS-X called "Vine Server for OS X" (http://www.redstonesoftware.com/products/vine/server/vineosx/index.html) which does interoperate with Unix VNC clients but is likely slower than Apple's built in server.
