Bug description:
  The help in the /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf states

  "To allow access without passwords, leave this commented out. An empty
  string will still enable passwords, but be rejected by QEMU
  effectively preventing any use of VNC."

  yet setting:

  vnc_password=""

  allows access to the vnc console without any password prompt just as
  if it is hashed out completely.
