Alexey,

I´m curious about this feature. I have two questions:

1. Was RDP ever included in the OSE version, then removed and replaced
with this VNC functionality?
2. Is there any security feature included in this VNC server? I know
the original VNC password security was weak, and it had no built-in
security mechanism (ie max number of failed connections attempts per
minute). I know other VNC forks changed that (tightVNC or UltraVNC,
can´t remember which).

I ask about the above because the idea of exposing a virtual machine
over the internet and VNC seems enticing... but not if the weak
original VNC authentication is used.

Best regards,
FC
