Does VNC have any Y2K (Year 2000) bugs?
The WinVNC server and Windows viewer have been tested on a PC with its date running through the 2000 boundary without any problems, so unless the underlying OS or BIOS has difficulties, VNC on a PC should be fine. The VNC part of the X-based Unix VNC server only uses dates when writing the log files; the logfile entries are timestamped with a two-digit year, but the format is easy to change if required and the entries are not intended to be machine-readable. The developers of the XFree86 server on which Xvnc is based state that there are no Y2K problems (see http://www.xfree86.org/FAQ/). We therefore issue the standard disclaimer: we believe the VNC code, in its entirety, to be free from Year 2000 problems, subject to the other components of the systems on which it is running.
