Install an SSH server on the NT machine you need to admin.  Connect to
it via SSH and port forward the VNC protocol from your client machine
over the SSH tunnel.  Set up VNC on the server to only listen on the
localhost IP address.  This is the simplest way to do it securely.  Is
there a security policy prohibiting the use of remote control products?
If there is you need to get it changed to prohibiting the use of remote
control products without 2ndary encryption.

Subject: Remote Admin of DMZ

I have been given the task of administering a web server contained
within a
DMZ. I am OK with the admin side of things but would prefer for time
reasons
to be able to remotely administer this machine. I have always used
PCAnywhere, VNC and the MMC. But I now cannot use these due to the
security
risk. Does anyone else remote admin inside a DMZ and if so how??

All machine are NT 4.0, I use a W2K desktop. (Free would be nice, but I
am
also interested if there are commercial solutions available).

Thanks in advance

Matt
