I know win2000 server has a single user version of Terminal Server
in it, but has XP had this expanded to include workstation too?
I hope MS have improved their RDP protocol as the NT Terminal
Server version was too fat to fit down a 56k modem link (hence
Citrix).
I do agree that the security in VNC could be beefed up a little.
Adding authhosts to your workstations helps and showing screen
warnings goes someway too.
Maybe someone could build SSH into the viewer and server? Just a
thought. I know it's okay for unix, but SSH is a bit of a kludge on
win32.
