How long must this poor beaten horse be dead before it rests in peace! You do not seem to understand that you _NEVER_ set a long password in the first place -- you just thought you did. VNCPASSWD on any platform encrypts and stores _ONLY_ (up to) the first 8 characters you input. The 9th and greater characters _NEVER_ existed for _ANY_ platform except in the space in which you typed them. The client cannot chop off what never was in the first place! >_______________________________________________ >VNC-List mailing list >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To remove yourself from the list visit: >http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
