It may well do that - i've not tried it :-)

I've no pressing need for this - i was just thinking of possible use
cases for the command. Now we allow multiple concurrent VNC clients, and
can authenticate them, I just thought that it might be desirable to be
able to drop individual authenticated clients. eg if you've revoked
their credentials, but they still have a session open. Turning off+on
the whole VNC server would work as a big stick too.
