VNC on fedora

Hi all,

I am having trouble understanding the vnc service on my fedora box.  I have xvnc service running but if I restart the service I get:

[root@ftpserver ~]# service vncserver restart
Shutting down VNC server: 1:root 2:steve                   [FAILED]
Starting VNC server: 1:root
New 'ftpserver.khlgroup:1 (root)' desktop is ftpserver.khlgroup:1

Starting applications specified in /root/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /root/.vnc/ftpserver.khlgroup:1.log

2:steve runuser: warning: cannot change directory to /home/data/it: No
such file or directory
-bash: line 0: cd: /home/data/it: No such file or directory
                                                          [FAILED]

Also I dont understand how it works regarding the reote desktop itself.  Does it open a different session of the desktop, do you have to log in as a user or can you log in as root? or is it a simple remote desktop where you take control of the mouse and keyboard from another location.

Please help and thanks in advance
