How secure are the VNC passwords in the free version of realVNC?
By that, I mean the following: I understand that the VNC session itself is
not encrypted, so that someone could intercept the VNC session. My question
is: when I _open_ a VNC session by connecting from a client to a server, is
the password sent in plain text, or is it encrypted? (If it's sent in plain
text, then it would be a bad idea to advise naive users that it's OK to have
the VNC password identical to their UNIX account password.)
Best,
SJF
