New XVNC does not support changing of SecurityTypes when
it is already running with vncconfig. So we have to solve
all the password stuff first, and then run the XVNC with
either None or VncAuth.

Can we not use iutil.execWithCapture() here? Also, you should just be
able to run "vncpasswd" and not have to specify the whole path.

Didn't you mean execWithRedirect? We want the output in a file,
which is then supplied to Xvnc. But with execWithRedirect,
I would have to write the input to a file too, here I can just
pass the password string to the communicate method.

Yes, that's what I meant.  The appropriate iutil.execWith* function.


You're right about the path though, I will change that.
