I got vncserver working per:
https://www.tecmint.com/install-and-configure-vnc-server-in-centos-7/
Then I went to set up a second instance, and have that for logging on to
root:
=========
cp /lib/systemd/system/vncserver at .service
/etc/systemd/system/vncserver@:2.service
vi /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@\:2.service
replace <USER> with root
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl start vncserver@:2
=========
I got the message:
Job for vncserver@:2.service failed because a configured resource limit
was exceeded.
See "systemctl status vncserver@:2.service" and "journalctl
-xe" for
details.
#systemctl -l status vncserver@:2.service

And yet, I am able to connect to 5902!? It is running.
cat /root/.vnc/localhost:2.log
