Because of top-quoting is it unclear WHAT is different... After scrolling down the entire message I find out that it refers to my previous posting: > > What is different in running a VNC server exposed to the Internet from > > running a SSH (or even a telnet!) server exposed to the Internet, for > > example?

Did you notice that I mentioned telnet in my original posting? I did it for a purpose, because I think plain VNC is approximately as secure (or insecure) as telnet. And there still are people who DO run telnet servers - moreover, they HAVE to run telnet servers for "compatibility", because they must support some users who don't want to use a ssh client. Same applies for VNC. There are circumstances where running a VNC server open to the Internet has sense. As I wrote - you have to know what (and why) you are doing.
