Aww come on, we aren't kids anymore, are we? (^0^)// Anyway the password could be defined through the VNC Server console/GUI (exactly like the login password). When entered instead of the login password, it will restart the machine; completely unlinked to the OS administrator account. I'm sure it's not that hard to add one more field and some reboot code(?)... It could be an emergency feature of the Enterprise Edition. > If you can connect again to this remote machine you may want to check the > Task > Manager for any hanging processes and stop them before you carry on with > your > session.

I got someone to restart the PC! Next step: put a good remote reboot soft! _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
