I have a friend of mine that works for a work from home company and she has a concern. I believe I know the answer but she is concerned enough <snip> server, that they are able to see her laptops desktop as well. Thank you //adam Adam: Assuming that the VNC server at your friend's workplace is compiled from standard code, she need not worry that her employer can see her desktop. That said, the code is open-source, and there is nothing to prevent them from modifying the source of vncviewer, which can already act as a server, to allow the employer to snoop on her. Were I in her position and worried about it, I would get a copy of the standard vncviewer and use that instead. If the employer distributes the standard version, they wouldn't notice (unless they check timestamps or something should they ever get access to my computer); since it would be the standard distribution, they wouldn't be able to snoop. if they complained that I wasn't using the code they gave me, OTOH, that would pretty much confirm that what they gave me wasn't standard, and they *were* snooping on my desktop. My two cents worth; HTH! Thx, Phil Long -------------------------------------------------------- Goss ...
