If you get the password prompt, they should, also. Maybe they mean your xhost is too open?

I think the vnc password flows in the open like telnet. The is a localhost option so you have to tunnel in with ssh to connect, good for secure shops. The Xvnc listens only on 127.0.0.1 not 0.0.0.0:

NAME
vncpasswd - change a VNC password SYNOPSIS
vncpasswd [passwd-file] DESCRIPTION
vncpasswd allows you to set the password used to access VNC desktops. It stores an obfuscated version of the password in the given file (default $HOME/.vnc/passwd). The vncserver script runs vncpasswd the first time you start a VNC desktop, and invokes Xvnc with the appro- priate -rfbauth option. vncviewer can also be given a password file to use via the -passwd option. The password must be at least six characters long, and only the first eight characters are significant. Note that the stored password is not encrypted securely - anyone who has access to this file can trivially find out the plaintext password, so vncpasswd always sets appro- priate permissions (read and write only by the owner). However, when accessing a VNC desktop a challenge-response mechanism is used over the wire making it hard for anyone to crack the password simply by snooping on the network. FILES
$HOME/.vnc/passwd Default location of the VNC password file. SEE ALSO
