Hi,

> passwd in file"

In the upstream x11vnc 0.9.9 dev tarball I have clarified the scope of
the -quiet option:

| -q, -quiet             Be quiet by printing less informational output to
|                        stderr. (use -noquiet to undo an earlier -quiet.)
| 
|                        The -quiet option does not eliminate all informational
|                        output, it only reduces it.  It is ignored in most
|                        auxiliary usage modes, e.g. -storepasswd.  To eliminate
|                        all output use: 2>/dev/null 1>&2, etc.

> and the output goes to stderr instead of stdout:
> 
> # x11vnc -quiet -storepasswd foo /dev/null  >/dev/null
> stored passwd in file /dev/null
> # x11vnc -quiet -storepasswd foo /dev/null 2>/dev/null

I'm not quite sure why you feel this output should go to stdout.
This won't be changed upstream; all of the -storepasswd success and
error messages go to stderr.
