I think my question is slightly different than saving the password. I do not want to save the password in a file. When I launch vncviewer, it should ask me for the password. And then I enter the password. Vncviewer makes the connection to the server. Now, say that for some reason the network connection is removed (say I suspend and resume my laptop). When the network connection is restored, vncviewer on Windows is smart enough to ask
"Do you wish to reconnect?" If I say yes, vncviewer automatically reconnects to the vnc server. I do not need to type in the password *second* time. On Linux, there is no way to achieve the similar behavior. Since I move with my laptop from one meeting to another all the time during the day (doing suspend/resume each time) - I currently have to type in password every time. I wish there was Windows like behavior where I had to type in the password only the first time vncviewer started. thanks, Osho On 4/27/06, John Aldrich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The easiest way to handle this is to save a "shortcut" to the VNC > connection.
