Good to know this works, but while a mother will probably trust her son not to do funny stuff it's a different story with friends and clients. See "scary ghosts" in Todd's reply. So even if all is sealed against breaking out the way I wanted it and know why doean't mean a non-techie user knows and can relate to why it's ok.

Got a saying here that roughly translates "what the boor don't know he don't eat".
What if you find a commercial solution that uses the same technology (ssh & vnc)? You could say, "They do it this way so it must be ok." Or a recommendation of the technology from a security-related website. Government, maybe?

Would that help?
