Description sxpert 2012-03-23 06:06:05 UTC 
when connecting to a Mac's system VNC server, the mac uses system accounts to authorize the connection.
the login fails when the password set on the mac account is longer than 8 chars, to which the password field is limited

workaround is to use an 8 or less character password but this is rather impractical.
