#1603 tightvnc server 2.8.75 will not connect with tigervnc viewer

[Michael Setzer II]

Updated a Windows 11 and Windows 7 machines to the 2.8.75. Work fine with each other, but with Fedora Linux and other linux report it connects, but after password entered it drops to command prompt? Did just download the Tight Java viewer from 2009, and using it can connect to the 2.8.75 windows server. The 2.8.63 version did not have this issue??

Not sure if it is something in handshaking or what. Don't see an error message, and running with strace didn't seem to show something, though it does show a lot of things.

Connection prompts for password, and if entered incorrectly, it gives error, and loops back to reenter, but entering it correctly just drops.
