You might be interested in running vnc through an ssh tunnel. That's what I do and it works great. You basically create an ssh session that forwards the port on the vncserver to the local machine, and then connect vncviewer to localhost. The default vnc ports can then be blocked on the server. If you google on "vnc ssh tunnel" you will get tons of hits tha t provide the details on how to do this. -- Greg
