I've been playing with VNC for a little bit, and I have two questions:
1) Is it possible to have an arbitrary VNC client connect to the server
without supplying a password? We'd like to set up a server running
only one application that anyone could connect to. Please ignore
security issues for this question; if you like, assume the application
is running as a totally unprivileged user.
2) Is there a way to set the VNC server's password programatically? I'd
like to set up a web page running under an SSL-protected server that
let the user change the password. Can this be done from a CGI script?
Yeah, I know these are contradictory questions... what was it Emerson
said? "Little minds are consistent among hobgoblins." Or something like
that. :^)
Thanks!
