Public bug reported:
x11vnc fails to start with the following command:
/usr/bin/x11vnc -inetd -q -env FD_XDM=1 -auth guess -display :0 -unixpw root
It starts if you leave off the -auth guess (but won't allow connection)
Removing -env FD_XDM=1 starts cleanly, and allows connection
This behaviour has changed since 20140626, which is when it most recently
worked for me (and had been working for ~5 years prior to that).
x11vnc hasn't updated, but several of it's ssl dependencies have, as well as
libc6.
