The 0.9.3.dfsg.1-2 page reads identically:

       -rfbauth passwd-file

              use authentication on RFB protocol (use storepasswd to
              create a password file)

I think this is a typo. It should read:

       -rfbauth passwd-file

              Use authentication on RFB protocol. Use option
              "-storepasswd FILE" to create a password file.
