Package: tightvncserver
Version: 1.2.9-6
Severity: normal

The vncpasswd binary from vnc-common package does not support the setting of
a view-only mode password for the TightVNC server. This seems to be reasoned by
the fact that the vncpasswd sources in the vnc-common package come from 
RealVNC, 
which does not have such a feature.

This package should install a /usr/bin/vncpasswd alternative, which is
compliant to the TightVNC features. I assume this not to be a vnc-common bug, 
unless the vnc-common vncpasswd binary is taught to support
view-only passwords. 
If an alternative is installed, the man page should also get an alternative.
