I think I must be missing something here. I'm using the default VNC server (daemon?) built that came with GentooX Home, but I'm having trouble changing the VNC password.
Here's a cut and paste from the shell. I simply run vncpasswd, enter my password twice, and tell it no I dont want a view only password. However, when I go to login with tightVNC's VNC Viewer, I still have to use the original password of "gentoox" to see anything.
Does it seem like I'm doing something wrong?

Code: Select all
Xbox ~ # vncpasswd
Using password file /root/.vnc/passwd
Password:
Verify:
Would you like to enter a view-only password (y/n)? n

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the first time I ran the command:
I received a message saying that the passwd file would be generated. Does the VNC server that comes enabled by default with GentooX home not use the standard password file?
I went as far as checking that file to make sure that the passwords were actually updating. I ran the following command before and after the running the above command to make sure the file was changing:
Anyone have any input?
Code: Select all
vncpasswd
