This might be a reason why it doesn't work with ARD. All TigerVNC software (vncviewer, vncpasswd, Xvnc and winvnc4) treats password stored in the "PasswordFile" file as 3DES encrypted password. Thus when you put "mypasswd" string into "PasswordFile", it is firstly decrypted via 3DES cipher and then send to server. However when you use Fedora's "passwdInput" option password is read as plaintext so it works. Please try to run this: $ vncpasswd ARDpasswd Password: <type "mypasswd"> Verify: <type "mypasswd"> $ vncviewer PasswordFile=ARDpasswd OSX::5900 Now vncviewer should load 3DEC encrypted "mypasswd" string, decrypt it and send it to the ARD server. > copied from server to the clients behind the scenes. *It just works* > So it is exactly the same text file used in: > * Xvnc PasswordFile= ... > * vncviewer PasswordFile= > * ARGAgent.app -vncpw CONTENTSOFFILE Regards, Adam -- Adam Tkac, Red Hat, Inc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
