Oooooh. :) Gotcha. The Linux echoServer uses crypt() hashes to store
passwords, so it's limited to 8-char passwords. And in EchoVNC, the
passwords
are "saved" in the EchoVNC registry using the same algorithm that VNC
uses to save its passwords. So it's limited to 8-char as well. But we
allow
longer passwords in the Windows echoServer...so I'll fix EchoVNC to
match.
thanks,
Scott
