The poster said he cannot use this feature as the tech needs 24/7 access and he cannot accept if he's not in the office.
"I cant just select the option that would request a permission from me before he can connect simply because i am not in front of my computer 24h/day. " But then again.. Rather than use a separate product you could just enable/disable the authentication feature when you login/logout.

Doesn't VNC4 have that feature? Go to the settings, then to the Authentication tab. Make sure the check box next to 'Prompt local user to accept incoming connections' Then anytime someone tries to access your computer, a message box pops up asking you to accept or reject the connection. In 10 seconds it rejects it for you. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Beauford, Jason Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2005 6:14 AM To: John Aldrich; Frederic Belanger; [email protected] Subject: RE: Is there a way to get a warning when someone access VNC serve r? Get a copy of ATTACKER.EXE over at www.foundstone.com from the resources link. You can set it to monitor the VNC Server port. It will play a .wav file and alert you to a connection on that port. Of course it will initially block the connection until you STOP the program and your tech will need to try to connect a second time to actually connect, you'll also have to stop and start the program before and after each connection, but at least you'll know if this person is trying to connect... Just 1 idea...

I had to install VNC server on my office computer because one of the tech needed a 24 hour acces to it. But i just realized today that he can access my computer without me ever knowing. Being an administrator, this is a problem for me because he could potentially see some confidential document while i am working on them. I cant just select the option that would request a permission from me before he can connect simply because i am not in front of my computer 24h/day. Is there a way to just be warned when he connects to my computer, without me needing to answer before he can connect? Tks! P.S. Sorry if i made any mistake, english is only my secondary language. _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
