vnc password hash

How does the vnc password feature work?

we tried the following in the conf-file:
vnc_password = 12345

-> access is granted after typing in password "12345".

we tried it with the hash: 12345 = cc72aad3323582f495f9cce9c18dded0
vnc_password=hex:cc72aad3323582f495f9cce9c18dded0

-> authentication rejected after typing 12345 in the passord field.

how does it work for us?

thank's in advance!

Thanks a lot!

I guess there is a small problem with hashing some words. Some words given in the password field result in a short hash, and then, the vnc-server is not reachable.

Only password "Vrdgtudf" with hash "0686e570d24089f205e10b073cfefe62" is working, if I only change last letter to 9 ("Vrdgtud9"), the hash ("7515fc0ee9a70c827f3c") is more short and vnc doesn't work.
