Also add a vnc_cert_file option to enable TLS?

i think VNC will be tunneled through SSH if encryption is required. if there is a strong demand for it, why not. but i don't think all the options have to be implemented just for the sake of being implemented...

more features --> more documentation. and documentation is still horrible by now. should invest some time there instead of adding features...

edit: certificates for authentication might be worth a thought though...

Some vncviewers (RealVNC for example) support this out of the box, if you tunnel over ssh you need to start an SSH session.

You want all the doc to be in the man page I take it?

if you use sockets instead of IP:port for VNC you most probably have an SSH connection established anyway (to start socat or whatever...). if you bind IP:port to 127.0.0.1 you'll have an SSH connection, to forward it...

the documentation should contain all the available options and valid settings for the options as well as some good examples for common use cases. the doc will be man page only for now.
