Hi List,
I am trying to use a VNC 4.0 on a SuSE Linux. My goal is to have many
VNC sessions per user, with different passwords.
When I am setting the password with 'vncpasswd' and connect to the
server (started with 'vncserver'), everything works fine.
When I am creating a password file (even with 'vncpasswd filename' or by
copying the existing one) and trying to create a new server with
'vncserver -PasswordFile filename', the client (Java and native Win)
fails to log in with the given password.
A snippet from the appropriate log file:
> Mon Jan 10 16:34:17 2005
> Connections: accepted: 192.168.241.145::1604
> SConnection: Client needs protocol version 3.3
> SSecurityFactoryStandard: opening password file 'hellopasswd' failed
> VncAuth: No password configured for VNC Auth
> Connections: closed: 192.168.241.145::1604 (No password configured
> for VNC
> Auth)
I am very curious what the problem is, and how to solve it.
Thanks in advance,
Dani
