Only the first 8 characters of the password are sigificant. See the 3rd
paragraph of:
http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/faq.html#q53
I agree that this information is not in an obvious place. Unless I had read
the entire documentation one Saturday when I was bored I wouldn't have known
about this restriction.

Subject: Connection password problem
Hi Group
On the installation of vnc-service, we take a connection-password
with 11 chars. The password is acceptet with no error.
But if we connect with a vncviewer to this server, only the first
8 chars of the connectionpassword are checked.
I can't finde any doc about passwordlenght.
same problem on your installations ?
cheers Peter
