Realvnc bypass auth connection failure

[hdm at metasploit.com (H D Moore)]

After launching the Metasploit module, open a command shell and run 
"netstat -na", make sure port 5900 is actually listening. Then try 
connecting to this as localhost/127.0.0.1, either with the GUI or using 
the vncviewer command line (vncviewer 127.0.0.1::5900). If this fails, 
try connecting manually with telnet or netcat. I can't reproduce that 
issue on the Metasploit test machines.
