When we integrated this code into Solaris, to conform with Solaris security
policy, we patched it to only listen on port 5800 if you requested it with
the -http option, where upstream enabled it by default:

https://hg.java.net/hg/solaris-x11~x-s12-clone/file/570c86581dc8/open-src/xserver/xvnc/vnc-nohttpd.patch

I've not checked the OI fork of the code to see if they kept this up or
dropped it.
