VNC Security?

I am using VNC to provide an X-display for a headless Oracle application
server.

Oracle communicates with VNC using X commands and does not need VNC commands.
To attempt to close the doors of unused interfaces, the window mgr and xterm
lines have been commented in $HOME/.vnc/xstartup. This results in VNC client
connections getting a "blank" screen.

Is there a cleaner way of disabling the VNC client interface? Something like a
command line argument to the VNC server ?

Does anyone have additional VNC security comments ?

Thx,
