Yes. In fact, you should *never* run x11vnc as root.
The Official Paravel Way[tm] way to do this is to use the ‘x11vnc-auto’ package:
1) Get a root shell.
2) Enter the following commands:
yum install x11vnc-auto
systemctl start x11vnc-auto.socket
systemctl enable x11vnc-auto.socket
3) Close the root shell, then get a non-privileged shell (user ‘rd’).
4) Enter the following command:
vncpasswd
Which will prompt you to set a VNC password.
5) You’re done.
Viewer connections to port 5900 will now spawn their very own private x11vnc
instances sharing display :0, running as user ‘rd’. If that instance
crashes/locks up/whatever, it will affect only that particular connection;
others will be unaffected, as will the ability to start new connections.
Cheers!
