I was about to confidently say that logmein works on 10.4 because I
run it on my G4, but then I realized that machine is on 10.5.8
If it isn't supported (try it and see) then it will definitely be
possible to use a combination of VNC ssh and port forwarding to
securely connect, but it's certainly not as trivial to use as logmein.
The built in remote management essentially is VNC, and apples product
called remote desktop is a paid for application that handles remote
desktop and software distribution and reporting but is definitely
geared to enterprise local use rather than remote network use. You
have to bring your own VPN or other method of contacting the computer.

My recollection is that pre 10.4 (or possibly even 10.5) it was non-

The nice thing about logmein and the like is that they are designed
that the person at the 'controlled' end just needs to be able to
point their browser at a web site, not mess with anything more scary
than that.
But if I'm wrong, and it should be easy to set this up with a
'controlled' machine pre-10.4 - do please correct me!
thanks,

hi Ben
Would Apple's built in Remote Management and Remote Desktop
software not do
the trick?
