Passwords on NT VNC Server

[Miani, Thomas]

Hello all :

I have a question about how the Default password and the current
user passwords are stored.

I understand that the default password is held in the registry.

My questions are these :

Does NT have more than one current user profile ?
To the VNC server, how are connections identified ?
Does it identify by Mac Address, Cookie, Cache in the users machine
?
and where are the passwords for those users maintained ?

Your help would be greatly appreciated

How I understand it: Only one current user profile. There is only one
password, held in two places in the registry. You can't setup different
passwords for different users. Users are not "identified". Anyone with
vncviewer and the password can connect unless you set up VNC to filter by IP
address using AuthHosts value.

Anyone, please correct me if I am wrong.
