We use it extensively internally as it saves us having to drive the 4
miles to some of our remote NT boxes.
I even use it with x2vnc (under linux) so I have three monitors (NT
Server, Linux and NT Workstation) but running with only one
keyboard/mouse which is connected to the linux box.
However, on our firewall, I have both ports 5800 and 5900 blocked -
mainly as we don't need to use it externally.
PS: VNC uses ports 5900 and up for each virtual screen (ie screen 0 is
on 5900, 1 on 5901 etc). However it also has a mini http server on 5800+
which serves a Java applet to access that machine.

this is a little off topic but still it relates to security and
firewall in a sense.
Has anybody used this without problem and compromising security.
