Ok, I got reply from UltraVNC developer:

http://forum.ultravnc.info/viewtopic.php?t=14896

Quote:

"The only published protocol versions at this time are 3.3, 3.7, 3.8
we are using 3.4 and 3.6.
The authentication message was added to rfb in 3.7.

The message can not be registered unless we move to the new 3.8 rfb.
This require more then a simple number update, all new stuff need to be
handled. Not possible for now."


And then I asked about the 3.4 and 3.6 protocol versions:

"Do you know if other VNC implementations are using 3.4 or 3.6 ? Or is it
only used in UltraVNC?"

reply:

"It's only UltraVnc...

We actual use 4 and 6 to indicate that FT and/or MS logon is supported
and fallback to 3 when viewer isn't able to do them. ( unless ms logon
required is checked, then 3.3 fail to connect)"


So.. would it be possible to check for protocol versions 3.4/3.6 and then
enable UltraVNC specific features in TigerVNC client?
