Allow Multiple Passwords

[Alex Pelts]

That would be a useless patch so no one would do it. VNC has separate 
password management from os and anyone who logged in would be able to 
change the password. I would just make up some password and use it.

That said, if you use vnc enterprise edition you can authenticate your 
sessions using normal windows/unix passwords.

To achieve the same security with free vnc you would have to use some 
tunneling software that allows multiple users and set no password on vnc.

Regards,
Alex
