The password lives in the owner's ~/.vnc, and the sidecar is the process that writes it — together with the rfbauth file x11vnc actually authenticates against. Officer read the plaintext half directly and answered with it before ever asking the sidecar, which is both a secret the proxy has no business opening and a way to hand out a password that no longer matches: if `passwd` went missing while `password` survived, officer kept serving the old plaintext and the desktop refused every login. `vnc:ensure-password` reconciles the pair, so ask it every time and delete the reader.
