How does this work when the Solaris system is running with Trusted Extensions enabled ? In particular given that the screensaver is a trusted path concept and cut and paste is intercepted on trusted path and subject to authorisation.
I was surprised you said there was no authentication or authorisation, but then the upstream page on "Security" says this: "Synergy does not do any authentication or encryption. Any computer can connect to the synergy server if it provides a screen name known to the server" Scarey! Does that really mean what it says ? If I run synergy on my Solaris desktop anything that can make a network connection to it can grab the keyboard and mouse ? That is scarey! I can't find out from the project home page how port numbers are selected and if it is possible to force it to bind to localhost only (so that if can be run over SSH and not still exposed unencrypted). -- Darren J Moffat
