VNC password is very easy to support.  The only problem is storing the 
password (as everyone seems to understand).  One thing I want to point 
out though is that the VNC password is almost plain-text equiv at this 
point.

There are some more interesting things that can be done to secure VNC 
(like tunnel it through ssh).  It would be nice to consider automating 
this sort of thing if we're going to try and attempt to implement 
security features.

Regards,
