Richard, thanks for your tip ! Thats EXACTLY what I was looking for! Will use ultravnc for now.
Since this is an OPTION - I don`t get it into my mind, why this is SUCH security risk and a reason for leaving it out. On my Machine I AM the only one who works and starts programs - and what I type into them at startup - i`d like to provide on the commandline,too. (special purpose - y`know? ;) what about: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/proddocs/net_use.asp or http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smbclient.1.html ?? rawpasswords on commandline :) OK - I understand that this CAN be a security problem - many people are mindless regardings such - but leaving a "feature" out because just of this ? ( These people also put sticky notes with their password on the border of their screen, too ! ;) IMHO, at least this could be an "not so well documented" feature in the standard vncviewer,too.
