2001-09-18 Thread Yan Seiner
My take on this: VNC was intened AFAIK for remote admin use. As such, it assumes a certain base knowledge of networking, tcp/ip, and security. Any admin who opens random ports to the internet, and leaves servers running with root priveledges accessible to the public, deserves to be shot. VNC d

Is the server on a win9x machine? An NT box? A linux box? Basically, once you log in to the server you have the same priviledges as a local user. On a win 9x box, there is no real concept of security or even of separate users, so you cannot deny access. On an NT/W2K box, I guess you could set
