This is just an idea for those of you that work on creating the new
builds of VNC.  It would be very helpful if there was a command line
parm on the server that would allow a quick change of the VNC password.
For example:

winvnc -newpass mynewpassword -oldpass myoldpassword

It should require the old password be given to authenticate the request,
of course.  This would make scriptable password changes much more
manageable.  An admin could simply put that line in a login script and
change the VNC password on all of the servers in his domain very easily.

I know that there are other ways to do this via login script but this
seems to be the most logical way.  It would be even nicer to be able to
change the password from the vncviewer.
