Fine. As it is now it very uncomfortable...

- from vncviewer:
vncviewer 192.168.1.102 ::5902

don;t get the passwotrd but a window with

unable connect to socket: Connection refused (111)

and on the console from where I ran the command the same:
"
Mon Feb  4 23:32:29 2013
 main:        unable connect to socket: Connection refused (111)
"

- From a web browser window where I point to
file:///usr/share/novnc/index.html

and then put ip, port and password and press the "connect" button I get:

Server disconnected (code: 1006)

See the screenshot regarding user portal after clicking on "..."
button aside the "console" one:

But I think I found something that could be the reason.

In vdsm.log on host I find this at the moment when probably vnc console started:

?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<domain type="kvm">
        <name>F18</name>
        <uuid>1d3fd942-1aad-4b09-adf0-94a0c4b23b02</uuid>
        <memory>1572864</memory>
        <currentMemory>1572864</currentMemory>
        <vcpu>1</vcpu>
        <devices>
                <channel type="unix">
                        <target name="com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm" type="virtio"/>
                        <source mode="bind"
path="/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channels/F18.com.redhat.rhevm.vdsm"/>
                </channel>
                <channel type="unix">
                        <target name="org.qemu.guest_agent.0" type="virtio"/>
                        <source mode="bind"
path="/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/channels/F18.org.qemu.guest_agent.0"/>
                </channel>
                <input bus="usb" type="tablet"/>
                <graphics autoport="yes" keymap="en-us" listen="0"
passwd="*****" passwdValidTo="1970-01-01T00:00:01" port="-1"
type="vnc"/>


Perhaps there is something wrong with
passwdValidTo="1970-01-01T00:00:01"

or not...?

date on host is correct:
[root at f18ovn03 vdsm]# date
Mon Feb  4 23:48:11 CET 2013

the same on engine a few seconds later
[root at f18engine ~]# date
Mon Feb  4 23:49:38 CET 201


and on my client
[g.cecchi at ope46 ~]$ date
Mon Feb  4 23:50:10 CET 2013
