Has anyone ever done a mod of the WinVNC server to support running it using an arbitrary file for configuration?

This doesn't fit the ideal classical model for servers, but when being used for special roles such as on-demand remote assistance of Windows users with a user-mode install of WinVNC, it can be convenient.

Anyone have any reactions to the idea? There are security concerns to address, of course, but in some scenarios this actually improves overall security by making -connect use as simple as a single click, removing most of the grief of getting assistance set up with less literate computer users.

I'm considering doing a quick-and-dirty Windows Script Host wrapper for this functionality, that just takes lines in a file and assembles them into a commandline. Looking at the commandline parsing in the Windows server source it looks like a native implementation could be directly integrated pretty simply... _______________________________________________
