Actually, it looks like I'm talking about the field "VNC viewers may control the screen with password:" Apple did shorten that in either 10.5 or 10.6. I've never used the actual complete ARD product, I've always just used the server side to respond to a VNC client. -- Macs R We -- Personal Macintosh Service and Support in the Wickenburg and far Northwest Valley Areas. http://macsrwe.com _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list MacOSX-talk@omnigroup.com http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
