Password protection

[atweiden]

I get fbvnc: vnc init failed! when the VNC session is password protected. Can password entry be hard coded into fbvnc.c, perhaps?

It should not be difficult to implement. The Handshake section of RFC 6143 explains it: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6143 However, using an SSH tunnel to connect to a password-less VNC server seems more secure, and probably easier to set up. Ali

I forked this repo, added VNC authentication, and made a few additional changes (e.g. touchscreen instead of mouse wheel).
