[ale] permanent networking solution?

[ChangingLINKS.com]

I have still had no luck getting this to run on startup. It occurred to me 
that I _normally_ use a user and password to get vncserver to work. 
If I start my box and do not log in to any account, how is vncserver supposed 
to know which account vncserver applies to? I am somehow thinking that 
vncserver cannot startup at boot time - or that I need to somehow specify  
the user. Any comments?
