Most likely you are going to want to tunnel vnc thru the ssh client (that
already
supports tunnels) anyway because most free vnc authentication is very simple.
In that case it isn't such a big deal to me. SSH will connect/authenticate and
my
vncserver will only accept local connections (from the ssh server).
As a matter of fact, I JUST tried it and I was able to route a connection thru
the
android ssh app so the password is not as important as the screen draw/input
events
not getting thru :-)
This was all on the emulator of course since I don't have a phone (yet).

Yes, I'm aware of tunneling. That is NOT a substitute for the VNC password.
Assuming that it is a substitute is making the assumption that the hosts in
question
are only being used by a single individual. That's not always the case. It
doesn't
necessarily mean it's a high security issue, it could just be a matter of some
of
trying to prevent annoying or embarrassing situations among users of varying
degrees
of sophistication/diligence.
So:
1) Yes, I do SSH tunneling for all of my VNC sessions.
2) Yes, my VNC servers all require localhost connections AND passwords.
3) No, the SSH tunnel is not an acceptable substitute for VNC password support.
4) So, I still need VNC password support on the VNC client side in order for
this to
be a useful application for me.
