Hi there, I recently went through a similar thing. When you remote in, are you already logged in directly at the CEntOS box? I found that you needed to follow some specific instructions if you wanted to be able to log in remotely, otherwise the setup only allowed screen sharing. I'm not sure what's going on with your installation, but I can tell you what worked for me.
Basically, you can follow the instructions on this page: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/VNC-Server More specifically, the section titled "Remote login with vnc-ltsp-config": http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/VNC-Server#head-590bc681fe9ae3aeff8f574586 0352706e896288 I also had success with the steps found on this blog page: http://codeghar.wordpress.com/2009/06/11/remote-login-with-gdm-and-vnc-o n-fedora-11/ I'm using this setup now, as I was able to customize the installation to my liking...

I have tried vncpasswd and it asks for a new password and to verify it, but I still get right in with no password request. Any hints anyone?
