	[Ehmke Eggert ICN WN ES D 56]  Did you verify the vncpasswd program
is in /usr/bin ? If not (mine is in /usr/X11R6/bin) you can search for it:
	updatedb (takes some minutes)
	locate vncpasswd
	That will tell you the location of vncpasswd. You can put a symlink
into /usr/bin:
	ln -s <the correct path>/vncpasswd /usr/bin/vncpasswd

	Hope that helps...
