Package: vnc4server
Version: 4.1.1+X4.3.0-7
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable
Hi,
/usr/bin/vnc4server uses incorrect parameter (-q) in the call to vncpasswd
makes the vnc4server unusable for most users.
The attached patch fixes this behaviour.
sample output:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/bin$ /usr/bin/vnc4server -httpport 5808 -geometry 800x1400
-depth 32 :8
You will require a password to access your desktops.
usage: vncpasswd [passwdFile]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/bin$
Thanks,
Taco.
