Jonas,
A lot depends on who, how and where you asked. And developer.apple.com is
the very first site you get when googling for "mac programming" or "apple
programming". To be honest, I also thought you already knew about that
site, but simply did not know what exactly to look for there (e.g.,
"authorization" vs "administrator rights")..
I have to admit that I don't know much about nix, but I got an answer this
morning: I can order a Mac :-)
what I want to know is what authorization the user has and what he can and
can not do.
It does not mean that your "client" can't simply enable a local VNC
server, open a https tunnel to the server and simply tunnel VNC over this
connection. Of course, no one can stop you from reimplementing
everything, but it's probably going to be quite a bit of work (as such
low level things are quite platform specific).
Tunnuling over our server is impossible and rules out central
control/management, both sides must act as https clients
It is indeed a lot of work: when I first started, I had completely written a
P2P connection and running within 2 weeks.
Developing the same over a server took almost 3 years...
The server was the hardest part though: i has to handle a lot of sessions
and has to run 24/7 without failure.
It's only restarted every 6 months for maintenance, mainly for the Windows
based servers.

thanks for these links, wonder why this site was not listed the mac
developer forums ..

And he can of course also look at the source code of existing VNC
servers, e.g. http://sourceforge.net/projects/osxvnc/
see my other reply
