Package: xvnc4viewer Version: 4.1.1+X4.3.0-17 Severity: normal This is similar to bug #386404, but whereas that bug seems to have been solved, this one is still open for me as of package version 17.
When connecting from my Debian laptop (xvnc4viewer) to a Windows 2000 Server (RealVNC, latest version), terminal entry of passwords fails for any password of length 0 to 7. Lengths 8 and 9 (and presumably longer) appear to work fine. GUI password entry always works fine. Note that my laptop runs Dvorak as a keyboard layout, if that makes a difference. However, the passwords I used to test (every length from 1 to 9) were simply sequences of the letter 'a', which is the same on both layouts. I also generally work inside 'screen' in a urxvt, but I tested from a plain urxvt and had the same issue. Also note that '0' is not a typo. Length 0 passwords suffer the same issue; they work in the GUI but not in the terminal. (This is not to be confused with 'no authentication', which does not prompt for a password at all.) -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (400, 'testing'), (300, 'stable'), (200, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-686 Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages xvnc4viewer depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.2-20060709-1 GCC support library ii libice6 1:1.0.1-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libsm6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-6 X Window System Session Management ii libstdc++6 4.2-20060709-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-6 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-6 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime xvnc4viewer recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
