.SH NAME
vncpasswd \- change a VNC password
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B vncpasswd
.RI [ passwd-file ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B vncpasswd
allows you to change the password used to access VNC desktops.  It stores an
obfuscated version of the password in the given file (default
$HOME/.vnc/passwd).  The \fBvncserver\fP script runs \fBvncpasswd\fP the first
time you start a VNC desktop, and invokes \fBXvnc\fP with the appropriate
\fB\-rfbauth\fP option.  \fBvncviewer\fP can also be given a password file to
use via the \fB\-passwd\fP option.

The password must be at least six characters long, and only the first eight
characters are significant.  Note that the stored password is \fBnot\fP
encrypted securely - anyone who has access to this file can trivially find out
the plaintext password, so \fBvncpasswd\fP always sets appropriate permissions
(read and write only by the owner).  However, when accessing a VNC desktop a
challenge-response mechanism is used over the wire making it hard for anyone to
crack the password simply by snooping on the network.
