Yep, even though InstantVNC supports one-time passwords, most
InstantVNC clients connect with no session password, so there is a
privacy/security consideration.
The way I usually suggest addressing this is as follows:
1. Setup a connection group on your echoServer, but make it private
2. Add a user account, make it a member of that group, and give the
user account the "see all" power.
The remote clients all login to the connection group, but the support
provider logs into the user account. That way ... only the support
provider
(who knows the special user account and password) can obtain a list of
available partner names and initiate connections to them.
cheers,
Scott
