-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Vino should not be included in the default install Date: Fri, 03 Jun 2011 12:36:26 +1200 From: Jane Atkinson <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Hi I originally posted this message as [Bug 790009] on Launchpad. It was suggested that this list is a better place for the suggestion. ------ Having "remote desktop" as an option in the default installation creates a security risk. It invites new users to enable it, not understanding the security implications. They then end up with unwanted connections to their machine. A quick look around the "security discussions" forum on ubuntuforums shows that this happens quite frequently. I propose that it should be removed from the LiveCD. If a remote connection program is needed, then something that*requires* SSH tunnelling could be provided. -- Jane Atkinson (Irihapeti)
