Another idea

[John Wilson]

Olivier,
    You would not normally want to reveal the IP address of the user already
connected because of security and privacy concerns. You would not normally
want to notify existing user that somebody is trying to connect for fear of
Denial of Service attacks.

However, in specific situations you might find it useful to do either of
these things. If you know Java you might like to try to modify my VncProxy
program to do this. The source is part of the distribution and it is
released under a BSD style Open Source licence.

ConnectPriority can refuse new connection. But is there a way to know
which is connected this case ???

A personn can forget to disconnect... I  should be great to have the
opportunity toknow the IP address of the connected personn.

I don't want to put the ConnectPriority value to 1 because I think there
will have conflicts between connected people (who will take control if
several people are connected ??)
