Ok, I've got a rough idea of what's going on: there was support for ARD authentication added to libvncclient recently, but it needs a callback set to work, the krdc code is not adapted yet. It seems there's a fallback in the Apple server that first tries (encrypted, thus better) ARD auth and then (unecrypted) VNC authentication. The way it's coded in libvncclient now is: the client tries ARD auth, but the necessary callback is not set (by krdc), BAAM, it fails. I've forwarded your mail to the author of libvncclient ARD support, let's see what he says... C. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
