Authentication Oddity

Just discovered an interesting authentication oddity. The password on one of
my machines ends in two exclamation marks.

I mistyped in my password this morning with only one exclamation mark and it
worked just fine. 

It would appear that RealVNC completely ignores the exclamation marks as
part of the password.

 

Using vnc-4.0-x86_win32_viewer.exe and related server.

 

Cheers,

Jamie
