Setting Remote Desktop's VNC Password in Terminal

A complaint I've frequently encountered on some Mac OS X Server related forums and mailing lists is that there is no documentation on how to enable VNC access in the Terminal. A good number of former Windows-only businesses have purchased an Xserve G5 without a video card because they needed to use both PCI slots for other components or they naturally assumed that a computer would come with a video card.

At all.

Apple is a markedly closed-lipped company, this everyone knows. Apple engages in what is called 'spherical branding.' The company presents a united front to the public, such that in most regards you have roughly the same experience regardless of which specific worker bee you happen to be speaking to. By presenting this united front, though, the public begins to treat Apple as something roughly Borg like, assuming that every worker bee knows about the product and support roadmaps. Reality is vastly different.
