Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Not necessarily, I can easily work-around it; but having this functionality would streamline things and improve security.
Describe the solution you'd like
I like the idea of the automatic file/directory creation behind the -t flag, but I'd also like to be able to pipe STDIN to vncpasswd when using this flag, like -f does. But the flags can't be combined, and I understand that -f is expecting to write out to STDOUT. So perhaps what I'm really asking for is that -t is capable of reading from STDIN as well as prompting for a password if not provided with STDIN input. This would be very useful in some automation processes where I do not want to be writing data to user home folders, so /tmp is my best option, but I'd like the right perms (and -t is offering that).
Describe alternatives you've considered
I'll just handle it manually for now: umask 077; echo "blerf" | vncpasswd -f > /tmp/$USER-vnc/passwd
Additional context
Nothing else to add, thanks for your consideration!
