>
>Bugzilla: 813633
>
>Hi,
>this is the patch for bug 813633 that is about man page of qemu-kvm
>not being correct for VNC password change instructions. There's the
>note of changing password using "change" command which is not working
>for VNC password change purposes and you should use "set_password"
>command instead.
>
>This is a man page fix, no brew build and/or testing necessary.
