The best way is to save a running vmware session to a file 
<session>.vnc. While saving, you are asked to save the password to this 
file or not. The file is kind of scrabled in the (further ascii 
readable) file. Once you want to connect from the commandline, use the 
-config option: `vncviewer -config <file>.vnc` and off you go.
