I suspect is is something to do with the 8chars/hashing (null terminated?) Xvnc/winvnc4/vncviewer all use the same code, but ARD does not. I've had to stick with 8 character passwords for the VNC password file as using longer password files would break with winvnc4.exe, see: http://www.mail-archive.com/tigervnc-us...@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00069.html Antoine > > Regards, Adam > >> On 07/03/2010 09:12 PM, Antoine Martin wrote: >>> Hi, >>> >>> I can't seem to get vncviewer to connect to an OSX display exported via >>> VNC if I use the PasswordFile option! >>> >>> The server is setup using: >>> sudo >>> /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/kickstart >>> -activate -configure -access -on -clientopts -setvnclegacy -vnclegacy >>> yes -clientopts -setvncpw -vncpw mypasswd -restart -agent -privs -all >>> >>> Then the client just does: >>> vncviewer PasswordFile=mypasswd.txt OSX::5900 >>> >>> It says it is connected, but doesn't display anything: >>> CConn: connected to host 192.168.42.111 port 5900 >>> CConnection: Server supports RFB protocol version 3.889 >>> CConnection: Using RFB protocol version 3.8 >>> ^ Stuck at this point, no window appears. >>> >>> But if I do: >>> echo mypasswd | vncviewer passwdInput=1 192.168.42.111::5900 >>> or if I just type the password into the dialog box... it works! >>> >>> I've tried vncviewer 1.0.1 on various platforms and the version that >>> comes with Fedora 13... no go >>> >>> Any ideas? >>> Antoine >>> >>> >>> >>> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >>> This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint >>> What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone? >>> Visit sprint.com/first -- http://p.sf.net/sfu/sprint-com-first >>> _______________________________________________ >>> Tigervnc-devel mailing list >>> Tigervnc-devel@lists.sourceforge.net >>> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tigervnc-devel >> > >> --- tigervnc-1.0.95-r4080/unix/vncviewer/CConn.cxx 2010-07-04 >> 17:58:23.000000000 +0100 >> +++ tigervnc-1.0.95-r4080-patched/unix/vncviewer/CConn.cxx 2010-07-05 >> 18:29:56.000000000 +0100 >> @@ -40,6 +40,8 @@ >> #include "ServerDialog.h" >> #include "PasswdDialog.h" >> #include "parameters.h" >> +#include <string> >> +#include <iostream> >> >> using namespace rfb; >> >> @@ -217,6 +219,16 @@ >> return; >> } >> >> + /* XXX Who wrote this code?
