Really ?
I have never heard of PCAnywhere being a potential security hole (except
through user stupidity like not setting a password).
I have also just searched the web and can't find anything worth mentioning
in any recent version of PCAnywhere.
Perhaps you can elaborate, because I certainly can't find any evidence of
PCAnywhere being notorious for holes. I am sure many list members use
PCAnywhere for remote admin of their IMail installations and will be worried
by your post.
Regards,
Adrian.
