NAME
vncpasswd - creating and changing password files to be used with VNC
SYNOPSIS
vncpasswd
[file]
DESCRIPTION
vncpasswd
should be used to create and change passwords for the
Virtual Network Computing
(VNC) server authentication.
EXAMPLES
vncpasswd
Invoke vncpasswd and create or change the default password file.
vncpasswd /tmp/foo
Invoke vncpasswd and create or change the password in file
/tmp/foo.
OVERVIEW
Xvnc
is a free X server that can be used to display and control X sessions
platform independent over the network. To connect to a VNC X server, the
client viewer will request a password from the user. This password will be
compared with the password in the file specified with the
-rfbauth
option to the VNC server.
The password has to be longer than five characters. Only the first eight
characters are significant. If the password is too short or if the password
file can't be opened for writing, the program will abort and exit with error
code 1.
DEFAULTS
vncpasswd
without a command line argument will look for a
$vncPasswdFile
variable in
/etc/vnc.conf
and in
~/.vncrc.
If this is found, the password in the specified file will be changed.
If not, the password file to be changed or created will default to
~/.vnc/passwd.
OPTIONS
file
The password file to create or change.
FILES
/etc/vnc.conf, ~/.vncrc
This files will be scanned for $vncPasswdFile. The last occurence specifies
the password file to create or change. If no variable with this name is
found and no filename on the command line specified, the default name will
be used (see above).
VNC developed at Olivetti Research Labs, Cambridge (now AT&T
Laboratories, Cambridge) by Tristan Richardson, Ken Wood,
James Weatherall, Andy Harter, Charlie McLachlan, Paul Webster,
Quentin Stafford-Fraser and others.
