How can this be done? I've checked the documentation at http://www.realvnc.com/products/free/4.0/man/vncserver.html, but there is nothing mentioned about setting the server properties. > But > this is a huge security hole. I guess the security hole is that anyone who has access to the LAN and know the IP address and port number, can also get access to my session, right? If this is the only security risk, I can live with it, because all those people are co-developers, who would have access to the same accounts anyway. > It's also possible to pass password to a vncviewer.exe using /password > command-line switch. I've checked the documentation about vncviewer here. It does not mention a /password command-line switch. Could you tell me where you find it documented? However, there seems to be a swith -passwd. The documentation at http://www.realvnc.com/products/free/4.0/man/vncviewer.html says: ======================================================================== ========================================== -passwd password-file If you are on a filesystem which gives you access to the password file used by the server, you can specify it here to avoid typing it in. It will usually be "~/.vnc/passwd". ======================================================================== ========================================== Unfortunately I don't have access from the Windows machine, where vncviewer runs, to the file system, where the password file is stored. Of course I could copy the password file to my Windows machine every time I change the password (which won't happen often anyway)...
