The problem is, how do I make it start, "posing" as a specific user, so that the user logging in through vnc, will have access rights I can control.

This is not a specific VNC question, as it should apply to any startup script in /etc/init.d

I could be wrong but have you looked at man "startproc"

DESCRIPTION startproc and the LSB variant start_daemon check for all processes of the specified executable and starts it if no processes are found. Note that startproc is designed to start a daemon but not a kernel thread or a program which enables a kernel thread. Jerry
