VNC Terminal Server on base of Debian Squeeze

I think many know what is Terminal Server and what it is needed for; and who doesn't know can visit the link and read Wiki.

Also I beg to suppose that many already used VNC for one-user connection but what can be done if multiple-users access is needed?

I tried several variants but decide in favour of starting vnc4server via openbsd-inetd.

BTW I want to mention at the very beginning: we will use port 5901 because the default port is occupied by built-in vino service in Gnome. Also it is necessary to remove network-manager and configure web interfaces via old kind /etc/network/interfaces.
And the last but not less important thing: we install GDM instead of current GDM3 because the last one absolutely is not impressed by options [xdmcp] Enable=true that are so necessary for multiple-users access.

Let's start.
