Yes. If you look through the source, you will find the password file is
hard-coded at /etc/vncpasswd or somesuch.

ISTR the command is vncpasswd ?? Anyway, I think you need some other
vnc server utils or perhaps read the vnc manual to get the correct
format. I use debian which comes with the vnc tools. Google for it or
read the realvnc website....
What changes did you have to make to the makefile?
Also, I think it would be a worthwhile patch to get rid of the password
authentication altogether on embedded systems. Use ssh if you need
security; the vnc password is sent in the clear anyway so it's pretty
useless.
Comments from the list?
