Listing vnc server sessions:

vncserver -list

Changing the vnc server session password

The command vncpasswd allows us to set the VNC password of a VNC session used to access remote

desktops. By default the password is saved in $HOME/.vnc/passwd file.

Creating different password for each vncserver sessions created:

If we want to set different password for each vncserver created under the same user account, we have

to use -rfbauth option while creating vncserver.

We can create a different vnc password by vncpasswd command.

When prompts for the password type it. Retype the password to verify it.

We can create a vncserver which uses this new password for authentication
