[OpenIndiana-discuss] xvnc-inetd only accepting one connection in total?? Huh??

Given the below quote from man Xvnc, I thought I could use 
Xvnc+vncviewer for multiple concurrent logins over the network, but no: 
It only ever accepts one connection.

What am I missing?? Some detail in gdm??

----Quoted from the Xvnc manpage
      The provided application/x11/xvnc-inetd service defaults  to
      running

      /usr/bin/Xvnc     -inetd     -query     localhost      -once
      securitytypes=none

      in  nowait  mode.    This  service  can   be   enabled   via
      svcadm(1m),  and  configured to use other modes or arguments
      via svccfg(1m).

      In this configuration, connecting to :0 will result in a new
      Xvnc  for  that connection which should display the standard
      graphical login screen on that machine.   (To  enable  this,
      you  will  also  have to enable XDMCP network connections on
      the login screen.   See gdm(1) for  details.)   Because  the
      user  needs  to  login  via this screen, it is usually OK to
      accept connections without a VNC password in this case.
