VNCTracker 3.2 (Default branch)
Image VNCTracker keeps a list of hosts on various Internet accounts. Rather than email or phone each user whenever you need a current IP address for connecting with VNC, you visit the Web page generated by VNCTracker that shows the updated IP address for that host. It will then build .vnc files to easily start VNC sessions served via HTTP. It supports 'Request Reverse VNC Session' to help with proxies and satellite connections. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
Many bug fixes. 'Request VNC' has been added to work with satellite and other one-way connections. This requires the remote PC to check your vnctracker server for a hostname.request file containing the IP to connect to. That initiates the reverse connection. The listening viewer (the requester) needs to have any NAT/gateway/firewall forward TCP 5500 to the listening machine. Image

NAME

       vncpasswd - change a VNC password

SYNOPSIS

       vncpasswd [passwd-file]

DESCRIPTION

       vncpasswd  allows  you  to set the password used to access VNC desktops.  It stores an obfuscated version of the password in the given file
       (default $HOME/.vnc/passwd).  The vncserver script runs vncpasswd the first time you start a VNC desktop, and invokes Xvnc with the  appro-
       priate -rfbauth option.	vncviewer can also be given a password file to use via the -passwd option.

       The  password  must be at least six characters long, and only the first eight characters are significant.  Note that the stored password is
       not encrypted securely - anyone who has access to this file can trivially find out the plaintext password, so vncpasswd always sets  appro-
       priate  permissions  (read and write only by the owner).  However, when accessing a VNC desktop a challenge-response mechanism is used over
       the wire making it hard for anyone to crack the password simply by snooping on the network.

FILES

       $HOME/.vnc/passwd
	      Default location of the VNC password file.
