HD Install :: can't set vnc password

Hi Folks,

my system - dsl 3.2 frugal
extensions - vnc

i have been trying to set the vnc password with the command
vncpasswd. it accepts the password but when i access vnc it lets me in without prompting for password. i access my machine from office and vnc is just open for anyone to get in. please guide

Thanks.

VNC isn't secure. Can you use SSH instead? Or tunnel it through SSH? SSH is a lot more secure.

Edit: Just in case... here are a couple how-tos.
