Finnally someone else agrees! Look the password is a problem - the next version will have that changed.
An uninstaller is coming too. BUT, yes we changed the file name, but we left the About WinVNC in their. - It says (c) AT&T, etc., etc. I will make the changes above pretty soon - the password thing is a huge security risk - and right now, we are telling our clients to change it to what they want, and then letting us know what it is. -----Original Message----- From: Troy Penke [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 21, 2001 9:16 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Resource Hacker What you did Ace, was to change some resources... menus, icons, strings and the like... by "hardcoding" certain resources into VNC binary... you adapted it to your own uses. Fine... you want to put out a customized VNC for your clients, can't fault you for that... as a DAS/NAS consultant, I /MIGHT/ do the same thing. You didn't /really/ change the source code... you changed some resource settings. Why is it 'icky' (in my opinion)... well... to start with you hardwired a password in, hardwired installation paths and registry settings, you put your 'logo' on it, gave it a name... wrapped it up in a CAB file (with no uninstaller)and called it your own. To do so privately is one thing... to do so publicly is quite another... especially with GPL'd software... What's next Ace... an "AceMiles Camry" (similar to the Toyota Camry... except it has AceMiles logo painted all over it, and you can only get the keys from Ace)?
