Please forgive me for being so clueless, but how do I enable remote
machines to use Xvnc as an X server?

I've taken a look at the vncserver script, but am none the wiser. It
seems to be "adding" the local hostname And what is the cookie for?
I've attempted:

system("xauth -f $xauthorityFile add aix2:$displayNumber . $cookie");

where aix2 is the host I want to give access to, but I think this is the
wrong way round?

(I don't have a man page for xauth, unfortunately.)

Ideally, I'd like to enable access from anywhere (I don't care about
security).
