We had one-- the Tight Security Extension. :) I signed off on removing it before I fully understood the ramifications. It's not an immediately critical issue. I mainly wanted to get GnuTLS up and running so I could get it in the hands of users and figure out its place in the universe. The

We could always port over an authentication method that supports username/password without the full encryption framework. I don't have any objections to that. It's already present in the SVN version, but not enabled in the default security type list:

First off, thanks to you and Martin on providing the condensed security howto. I had been digging it up from older VNC lists when you sent it. I knew options were available but was just not sure on the correct syntax for passing them. I am now getting the right prompts

I need VncAuth, because I use it to implement one-time password authentication (yet another piece of functionality I'd like to eventually get ported to TigerVNC.) I also think that VncAuth is what users expect when they try to use VNC out of the box. However, the ability for SysAdmins to

This is good work, but I'll be 100% honest-- after digging myself into a deep pit of GnuTLS Hell this week, the thought of introducing yet another dependency on yet another security library makes me cringe. Is libssh really necessary? I've never observed the port conflicts you're talking about.
