How can I take control the native X server on AIX5.3 via VNC ?

Hello
I need to be able to take control of the native X server ( :0.0 ) on AIX5.3 workstations via VNC to be able to assist users...seeing what they are doing is much better than them telling me what they are doing.
I know that this can be done on linux so it should doable on AIX.

On linux this is done by adding module "vnc" and more in xorg.conf but as far as I know there is no xorg.conf or XFConfig in AIX.

Anybody know how this is done on AIX ?

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
