Fix description of "%u" in manual pages.
We user the real, not the effective user ID, to check if the user is allowed to log in with the "Plain" security types. Otherwise it would be necessary to log in as root when Xvnc is installed with the set-user-id bit on. Signed-off-by: Carlos Santos <casantos@redhat.com>
