I remember hearing VNC wasn't safe to do in-the-clear on an unsecured network... Or is that just X? At any rate, it would simplify your port issues (at the router, at least) if you tunneled vnc through ssh anyhow.. or will that be too much of a performance hit? Not that I know how to do that.. just that it can be done. :-) ~Brian -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
