If you check the UVNC Installation cmdline page
http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net/install/cmdline.html
you will see that ultraVNC SC has the 2 following switches
-username
-password
How do these work?
I cannot get the winvncsc.exe or the winvncscIII.exe to accept these switches. Please someone explain how these work.
Also, is it true that winvncsc.exe and winvncscIII.exe NOW accept the
-autoreconnect switch. Why would anyone ever pay for a remote support solution when we have opensource freeware that is even better then the paid solutions. Thanks guys!!!

Not used, current not implemented
-autoreconnect switch: the server keeps trying to connect.
But onces connection is made, and viewer disconnect, SC remove themself.
There is no mechanism implemented in VNC to do password checking for an invers connection. Adding this break compatibility with
the normal vnc version.
The way to go is
Viewer send encrypted passwd -->repeater
Repeater check if ID== and also send encrypted password to
server for checking.
After this is done, the normal VNC start running.
It just take time to implement all...

Ok, thank you so much for clarifying all that. Please understand that I'm not complaining. I will always use UltraVNC because it's the best. Thank you so much for responding so quickly. How long do you think it will take to add the password fetaure to all there products. Repeater - Sever - Viewer.
Just to clarify even further.
You said that the autoreconnect switch works only until the viewer has connected at which point once the viewer disconnects it does not try to reconnect again. Is this true for both the winvncsc.exe and winvncscIII.exe?
Can you please change it so that it will autoreconnect even after the viewer disconnects? That shouldn't be too difficult because this is the way that the regular winvnc reverse connect with autoreconnect works.
Thanks for everything.
