You might have already tried this, but how about VNC?  I'm not sure what you
are looking for in terms of security, but if you wanted a way for someone to
view a desktop remotely in a way that was password protected, VNC might be
the way to go.  You can disable the remote keyboard and mouse access, so all
they see is what is on the screen.  Its also GPL, which is nice.
Think the link is http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/, but of course it's
not responding when I try it right now (8:30PM EST).  Try google if nothing
else.

Best of luck.

Subject: Secure Way of Remotely Viewing a Desktop...


Hey Folks!

I hope this forum is the right place to post this question...  If not,
sorry!

Background:
I'm a sys. admin. at a local high school and have the following situation...

There is a student taking a computer programming class that has a vison
disability.  He has a school provided Win2K Pro laptop that has been locked
down very tightly...  This laptop was provided to him to make learning
easier for him.  However, there is one problem...  In order for him to
funtion effectively in class he will need to be able to see a remote display
of what his teacher is doing on her PC (which is hooked up to an LCD
projector) on the screen of his PC.  Is there a secure way of accomplishing
this feat without using any of a number of trojan horse programs?

The network is Windows based instead of Novell, so ZENWorks is not an
option...

Thanks for any help you can give in this!!!
