Hi All, Long time listener, first time caller. :)
I work for a company that uses Linux on the desktop. We have one windows system which is located in the server room and all employees have access to this system for when they need to do something which cannot be done under Linux. VNC is an ideal solution to provide access with one major drawback. I cannot find any way to easily restrict the windows box to one connection at a time. This is important because one of the very few applications that we run on the windows box is the payroll software and the boss doesn't want employees seeing things that they shouldn't. Now before everyone starts pointing out that there are hundreds of other ways to compromise the application... We have secured the physical server, the payroll software has an encrypted database and requires a password to access, the LAN is switched to prevent packet sniffing (we will ignore MAC overloading), etc... Multiple sessions via VNC is the only weakness that doesn't require some serious effort. The "-noshared" option with "ConnectPriority=2" is only useful if everyone uses it and there is no practical way to police a client side requirement. Any help would be much appreciated. ---- Nick __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
