I think this depends on the version of Linux/Unix to a great extent (I assume you are referring to a *nix VNC server).
If that is the case - have you rebooted the system yet? If I recall correctly, the password is normally cached by inetd or whatever process starts VNC; a reboot or service restart should do it *if* it's taking the password change from vncpasswd. -What do you mean by "it doesn't like that.."? Just that id apparently doesn't work, or do you get an error? One other thing you may note - some configurations of VNC may automatically grab a password from the user account *or* from one specified at boot time - in the latter case you will see it pause during the boot process and wait for a VNC password to be entered. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Ogier" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday/2002 January 07 08:10 Subject: Changing the Session Password : Hi there, : : I've not been able to change the session password for my VNCViewer.
