No, I haven't been able to stop it and to save you looking back through
the archives, I asked this question before and had the following reply
from the good guy at real called Wez...

No VNC is not safe. You need to add safety at the TCP/IP level, and
then use VNC on top of it...
There are many ways of doing this, look for tunneling or VPN both are
ways of setting up remote TCP/IP connections to remote systems safely..

Are you saying that just running VNC Server 4 on the servers in question
causes the Ctrl-Alt-Del window to dissappear after a couple of hours? Or
does there have to be a VNC connection active for that behaviour to be seen?

I am using RealVnc V4 however I would have thought it was up to the
operating system i.e. XP/NT to determine if it will log an event rather than
VNC triggering it.
I don't know but logic would say the trigger would be the event operating
system.

Maybe it's because we're using TightVNC, maybe no Event Log entries are made are
you using RealVNC? I haven't looked at TVNC vs RVNC in well over a year maybe I
should look agin.

Writing to OS Event Logs is done at the application level. Most M$ programs do it by
common design. All other applications, such as xVNC have to do it intentionally.
Here's simple example code for any VB application:

appLog.Source = This

John John,
TightVNC is based on the old VNC 3 codebase, which didn't log to the system
event log, so you won't get those log events if you're using TightVNC.

KDE has its own VNC server built-in. In the Control Center, look for

Mind you, this won't get you the desktop _before_ one is logged in.
For that, you need to use one of the display 0 servers - search the

It could be that the Logoff handling bug causes further undesirable

Matthew,
The way I do it is connect to my work network via a VPN; that way the VNC
traffic is encrypted by the VPN (or at least that is my understanding). One
caveat though, setting up the VPN server is not for the faint of heart and
you need administrator access to the VPN server.

The only thing I would add to John Walll's directions to find
'Administrative Tools' is, when yo go to the Control Panel, choose the
Classic View' to see Administrative Tools. It is not obvious where it is if
you are using the Category View (the default setting).

The other option that I use is SSH
SSH allows you to tunnel any port over a secure connection. It also
can allow in some circumstances to run the SSH server on any computer
and tunnel traffic through it.
e.g.
pc1---ssh client ssh serverssh client-pc2
Yes, there is.
