UltraVNC is (IMO) a good idea. I pulls a number of ideas into one source and includes a few new ones too. I'm hopeful that a linux version will come out shortly. The sooner the windows version stops keeping the password in the registry the better. As to security, the file transfer mechanism logs into a NT/2000 as the system account. So.... anyone who knows the VNC password (or cracks it) they can use the file transfer program to access 99.9% of the NT/2000 install. I have emailed Sam about this one and he says he's looking at a fix for it. Personally, I'd like to see UltraVNC access the user's disk with the same user persmissions as the currently logged user by default. (although a better option - for me at least - would be to use the NTLM logon details to grant rights to the file transfer routines). With any VNC release as long as the enhancements can be turned on/off and remain compatable with older releases, I think continued development can only be a good thing for all platforms.
