Hmm.. I'm not really familiar with the UltraVNC design and/or code..

Quote from that page:
"It appears that...
u...@vnc's MS-Logon 1 uses the RFB version string to communicate it's desire
to use a different authentication technique. If the version is 003.004 the
Security Negotiation requests it uses VNCAuthentication and does a hybrid of
VncAuthentication (DES encrypted with a fixed key) and MS Challenge.
u...@vnc's MS-Logon II uses the Security Negotiation protocol (send "-6") to
select their MS Logon Authentication procedure."
Is "MS-Logon II" better, or something that can be supported/added?
Would be nice to have both though.
