Check out Tridia's distro of VNC (http://www.tridiavnc.com). It seems to me
that their most recent release incorporates a patch that allows you to
change the behaviour of the AuthHosts "?" from default reject to default
accept, which sounds like what you're looking for.

Andrew,
I guess the beeping during daytime (when the user is not present at his
workstation) could probably be quite disturbing.
Anyway, I guess we could be very close to our solution, using the AuthHosts
registry option with the ? attribute. As far as I understood. Using this
setting, causes a dialog to ask the user to accept the connection.
The only remaining problem however is (as far as I have understood) that
using this setting results in a rejection of the connection after a timeout,
while we just would like to see the connection accepted instead of rejected
after a timeout, if the user is not present (since, if the user is not
present and as such not working, the danger of spying the user's work and
activity isn't relevant anymore. So I see no reason why the connection
should not be accepted).
Thanks
Jo

Would audible beeping every five seconds plus a non-modal systray
balloon be more helpful?
At night it doesn't matter if there's beeping. Establishing a
feature like time of day exclusions is a relatively major effort.
