But if i want to start vncserver on a port < 1024 (with the -httpport option) i can't do it because only the root user can bind port < 1024.
What do you want to do on port < 1024?
If it is for http, then be noted it only serves a html page with a jave viewer.
This java viewer also uses the same port as the binary vncviewer for your desktop: the rfb-port. Those ports cannot be combined.
You can also use any other webserver to serve the html page and the java viewer. You'll find them in the .../vnc/classes/. directory: the *.vnc files are pre-cooked html files with some variables that are filled by the Xvnc-webserver.
How is it possible to start vncserver for a particular user in using the root account ?
The best way is like on http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp . It provides vnc just as on the console, including login box.
No, because if you start vncserver as a user you are no longer root, so you can't bind to those ports. Programs that do this include special code to bind the port as root then pass control to a non-root account. VNC includes no such code.
