Please search the list archives for more detail, as we've discussed this
in depth in the past weeks.  The VeNCrypt security type is now implied,
and the default server security type order has VncAuth first.  Thus, if
you don't pass -SecurityTypes to either the client or the server, the
default will be to use VncAuth.  To default to a different security
type, you must start the server with the -SecurityTypes parameter and
either omit VncAuth or move it to later in the preference order.

As I mentioned, though, TLSVnc also needs ~/.vnc/passwd.

-rfbauth is no longer used to enable VNC auth.  It is simply used to
tell Xvnc where to find the password file.  Thus, that option should
have no effect unless VNC auth is enabled.
