More details: I've tried vncviewer (various versions from 1.0.1 to
r4080) on various platforms (win32, linux and osx).
None of those will connect to a MacOSX VNC server using PasswordFile,
whereas they are quite happy to connect to other servers.
Very very strange.
Why would the type of server have anything to do with parsing the
PasswordFile I do not know!
Anyway, is there are reason why the "ugly patch" that is included in
Fedora builds is not merged?
If anything, it provides a workaround for this issue.
Attached is an updated patch against trunk.
Cheers
Antoine
