+Comma separated list of parameters that can be modified using VNC extension.
+Parameters can be modified for example using \fBvncconfig\fP(1) program from
+inside a running session.
+
+Allowing override of parameters such as \fBPAMService\fP or \fBPasswordFile\fP
+can negatively impact security if Xvnc runs under different user than the
