Package: directvnc
Version: 0.7.8-1
Severity: normal
man 1 directvnc:
-p, --password
password string to be passed to the server for authentication. Use
this with care!
OK, so what's care? Well, the password is available for all system
users and crackers to view with just `ps faux | grep directvnc`. But
what if there was a way to supply the password through a file, like on
all other vnc servers? Looking at the documentation, I can't see any
such way to provide the password through a file.
