I have a suggestion for a future enhancement for VNC: somehow confirm the password change. I've searched the archives and not found anything about this.
Let me tell you how I came about this idea (necessity being the mother of invention). I've just recently started using VNC to administer a remote windows box. A few days ago, I decided to change the password for VNC. When I entered the password, I somehow mistyped it - BUT I didn't realize my mistake until the next time I had to get into the box. Because I didn't know what the password now was, I had to travil to the server and change it at the location. When I change a password, I'm used to having to having to enter it twice, and if they don't match, then the password wouldn't change. Another application I know of (ServeU) does it slightly differently: the password is hidden using *, except when I enter a new one. (I.e.: it echos my password using thecharacters I've typed, but after accepting the password, echos it using *.) Just my $0.02 to try and help a good product become $0.02 better.
