If Vino allowed to set a password longer than 8 chars, the following situation could happen: You set a 12 chars password in Vino. Then you try to connect to it using a client which truncates the password to the first 8 chars following the protocol. So you won't be able to connect to it. If Vino prevents you from setting such a long password it also prevents from this situation to happen. Feel free to reopen the bug if you think that's not reasonable. Cheers, Emilio
