OSXvnc works on Intel Macs in native mode. Suggestion: if you use it on 
computers that have high end visibility/access on networks - change the port 
for accessing it and disable it's feature for announcing itself to the network 
locally. That will help limit attempts to break into your VNC which, if that 
machine is already logged in at the desktop, gives a person potential admin 
access to your machine. I routinely make sure the screen saver uses a password 
for access so just in case someone does get in, they still have another layer 
to get through.

I've not seen OSXvnc broken into, but... I've seen RealVNC broken into all the 
time. I don't go begging for folks to try to get in another way... :-)

   OSXvnc is the server the SharedDesktop shared app uses.  I ran a lot of tests

   I've not tried it with the Intel Macs.

         Hello AG Tech,



         I am trying to locate an Apple Mac VNC Server program.  I looked at 
Chicken
         of the VNC but it looks to be only a client.  Are there any server
         recommendations?



         Thank you,



         John
