No that is not correct, because VNC uses the same encoding on Windows as it does Linux. Assuming someone unauthorized can read your registry (or read files in your ~/.vnc directory) I would think VNC would be low on your list of worries. Another way of making this not as big a deal is to use SSH tunneling and only accept connections through the tunnel. That way they would need to know your SSH password (or better yet, have your private key and passphrase) AND your VNC password for it to be an issue. -- William Hooper _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
