to get around the authentication issue, you could just run:

#/path/to/vncpasswd
Password: <enter the servers vncpassword here>
Verify: <re-enter the servers vncpassword here>

#/path/to/vncviewer -passwd /path/to/passwd(that was created with vncpasswd)
0.0.0.0(your servers name or IP) &

This way you do not have to input the password each time.  You can just have
a password file generated.

Good times.
