Does it work if you pass vncpassword=asdasd on the kernel command line?
This is because new vnc doesn't support changing these settings during runtime. I fixed this for rhel6 already, but forgot to push to master too, I'm sorry, my fault.
(In reply to comment #3) > Does it work if you pass vncpassword=asdasd on the kernel command line? Doesn't seem to make a difference
