Configure for OS X Screen Sharing

SLES 11 SP2. Need to enable vnc from OS x mtn lion (10.8). I have installed and configured Avahi but not able to connect to SLES box. Anybody got any ideas on how to configure SLES 11 for OS X screen sharing (connect from osx to sles using vnc port 5901). I have followed this

Remote Control on SLES is enabled (configure with Yast)?
FW ports open or FW disabled?
On SLES, what did
netstat -napt |grep :590
show? Xinetd should listen on 5901

Same problem here …
I can connect from OS X 10.8 via SceernSharing (VNC) to CentOS6 or Windows 8 … but SLES11 asks for a Username / Password… and than spins infinitely.
TCPDUMP on SLES11 shows an incoming and outgoing packet from / to port 5901, and thats it.
From a Windows machine with UltraVNC works without problems.
Even from an VMWare Fusion W7 VM on the MAC using UltraVNC I can connect without problems to the SLES11 server …
Anyone using a MacBook for Network / Systems administration ??
