Using ARD with PC VNC servers
I am able to use ARD to control a PC running the free version of RealVNC, which apparently uses a silent username of 'Admin' along with the password you set in the default install. Does anyone know the silent username for UltraVNC? I know it's not blank or Admin. ARD asks for a username and password for login, while the PC VNC servers generally only use a password. Chicken of the VNC also just uses a password, and will deal with UltraVNC servers on PC hosts very well except for the lack of screen scaling. Interestingly, CotVNC will not connect to a RealVNC server on a PC with just a password.
