AuthHosts Problem

[James ''Wez'' Weatherall]

Yes.

Set AuthHosts to something like "?" and then on each machine, have a
QuerySetting key for the user Default and one for the user SYSTEM.  SYSTEM
is the user WinVNC behaves as when no-one is logged in.

HKLM/Software/ORL/WinVNC3/<Default/SYSTEM>/QuerySetting

See the docs for suitable values for QuerySetting.

Cheers,
