Actually, I think a more secure method would be to simply send out an email with a link that can be clicked to 'join' the published session. The password could be encoded (more secure) and auto-entered, or simply provided as text (less secure) in the body of the email, and which would then have to be entered manually when prompted for. > 2: "Passive Shadowing" (a.k.a. spying) -- > The patches that add the -stealth option to x0rfbserver > effectively make exactly what your boss is asking for > possible (and it only took John Cuzzola one rainy Saturday > to add those).

Way kewl! As much as I hate this kind of option, I do believe that the boss has the Right to demand that you not 'play' on his time. But I also firmly believe (and I believe this is required to make it legal) that the employees have to be made aware that their sessions can be monitored. Something that would be even kewler.... The ability to shadow sessions on different LTS networks over a WAN link. For example, say I have 5 LTS networks located in different cities... I would like to be able to shadow sessions in our local office *and/or* in remote offices... Is this gonna require additional coding, or is it capable now? Doing it via an email with a link (app?), this should be possible, as long as the firewalls are set up properly, no?
