I just tried it with both the Linux v3.3.7 and v4 beta4 viewers against a Linux v3.3.7 Xvnc. > I generally agree with you about security.

Definitely don't take this as a flame, just a point to ponder. Will you remember how these four computers are set up if you get Internet access to one of them? How about if you add a wireless access-point? -- William Hooper _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
