Note: -passwdfile is a simple plaintext passwd, see

VNC password files. Neither file should be readable

-passwdfile filename Specify the libvncserver password via the first line
of the file "filename" (instead of via -passwd on

If the filename is prefixed with "rm:" it will be
removed after being read. In general, the password file
should not be readable by untrusted users (BTW: neither
should the VNC -rfbauth file: it is NOT encrypted).
Note that only the first 8 characters of a password
are used.
If multiple non-blank lines exist in the file they are
all taken as valid passwords. Blank lines are ignored.
Password lines may be "commented out" (ignored) if
they begin with the charactor "#" or the line contains
the string "__SKIP__". Lines may be annotated by use
of the "__COMM__" string: from it to the end of the
line is ignored. An empty password may be specified
via the "__EMPTY__" string on a line by itself (note
your viewer might not accept empty passwords).
If the string "__BEGIN_VIEWONLY__" appears on a
line by itself, the remaining passwords are used for
viewonly access. For compatibility, as a special case
if the file contains only two password lines the 2nd
one is automatically taken as the viewonly password.
Otherwise the "__BEGIN_VIEWONLY__" token must be used
to have viewonly passwords. (tip: make it the 3rd and
last line to have 2 full-access passwords)
