My understanding is that they were going to change the auth code so
that it defaulted to using VeNCrypt so that you would no longer have
to specify it on the command line. You would however have to set the
method priority. The method priority would default to VncAuth for
compatibility. I do not know if that was completed or is in the
current binaries that DRC built. I am running the same binaries and I
am still specifying in the old manner. I have not tested the short
form using them. I was not sure if that work was completed yet.
Again this is my understanding from following that thread. If
anything in my 2 cents above is incorrect, please jump in let me know.
Working on understanding too: if VeNCrypt would be the default, the
authentication is always done using PAM. However, a 'vnc' pam file is
not present by default. It is also not trivial to make one since each
distribution has its own way of configuring pam. I would suggest to
default to /etc/pam.d/vnc if present, otherwise use /etc/pam.d/login
(which is present on all systems).

As far as checking for the VNC password, we're no longer requiring
"VeNCrypt" to be specified in the -SecurityTypes parameter, so checking
for that won't work. The correct approach is to check whether
-SecurityTypes is not specified -- or -- whether -SecurityTypes is
specified and contains (case insensitive) "VncAuth". If either of those
conditions is true, then and only then should vncserver check for the
existence of the VNC password.
Looking at it again, the vncserver script adds --rfbauth automatically,
so a more structural change is necessary:
- if no options are given, force VeNCrypt, and do not use --rfbauth anymore
- force VeNCrypt by specifying SecurityTypes, and do not use --rfbauth
in that case
Or am I misunderstanding something?
