AT&Ts VNC is the best solution i have found, free or otherwise. It is cross platform, free, open source, and it works well.
Check out http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/ The source code is available, which would allow you to audit for backdoors and the like. I would recommend not using this on publicly accessible networks, or if you must, somehow obfuscate its presence by using a non-standard listening port (There are docs on the site above about this). Oh, and put filters on your border routers to stop any of this kind of traffic from entering or leaving your network. Personally I use vnc over a VPN or a ssh tunnel for truly secure remote administration. -- Dan Irwin - Systems Administrator Jackie's Wholesale Nurseries Pty Ltd Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 07 3888 2481 Fax: 07 3888 2530 Postal: 10 Gleeson Road Burpengary Queensland 4505 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.jackies.com.au > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, 16 January 2002 7:12 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Remote PC Management via LAN/WAN > > > Hello Fellow Subscribers, > > The Question I have is: What is your opinion on useing a Trojan like > SubSeven to manage your network or even any other Remote > Management type of > Program?
