      These vnc server flags need to work together with vnc client flag 
(like: -Shared for vncviewer)
      for a certain behaviour, and these flags focus on how to share 
more than whether to share
      or not.
      I don't know more about RDP, it seems that their common behaviours 
are not quite same
      according to above docs.
