x11vnc 0.9.6 (Default branch)
Imagex11vnc is a program that allows one to remotely view and interact with real X displays (i.e. a display corresponding to a physical monitor, keyboard, and mouse) with any VNC viewer. It is similar to WinVNC and is designed to be compatible with all Unix variants and depend on a very small set of standard libraries. It supports a growing number of command line options, such as -nofb for dual-headed mode with Win2VNC. It is part of the LibVNCServer project.License: GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:
x11vnc's SSL encryption is extended to support the VeNCrypt and TLS VNC security types. An increasing number of viewers support the former. Anonymous Diffie-Hellman key exchange support is provided, and Certificate Revocation Lists are implemented. The Java viewer applet is downloadable via the VNC port as well as the HTTP port. If x11vnc is not built with the Avahi Zeroconf library, an external helper program is used instead. A launcher for naive users is provided in x11vnc.desktop. The solid background color option works on the Mac OS X console.Image

vnc4passwd

vncpasswd(1)						     Virtual Network Computing						      vncpasswd(1)

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.
