hi everyone!
i did not get an answer to my post a while ago, and i still have not worked it out myself, so here it comes again:
i want to run vnc servers as services on all client machines. when a user is logged on, the user should be prompted to accept incoming connections to ensure his/her privacy. but when nobody is logged on, i want to be able to connect without the local prompt.
the reason is i'm trying to use wake-on-lan, and it takes all the fun out of remote administration if you have to rush through the halls and click "accept" on the user machine, all in 8 seconds after connecting :)
come on, i can't be the only one with this problem...
i'd try to hack it in myself, but i don't have a windows compile toolchain, and although i still don't know much about windows internals, it's already more than i ever cared to know....
rtfms welcome if you kindly include a pointer to the fm :)
best,
jvrn

hi vnc folks!
first of all, huge kudos to all contributors for a really smooth piece of software, and for sharing your work under the gpl!
i'm planning to use realvnc both as a helpdesk and remote administration tool.
it's very important for me that my users don't feel they are being spied on, so i configured all servers on the windows 2k clients to display a prompt before accepting an incoming vnc request.
unfortunately, even when nobody is logged in, the prompt is displayed, although there is no danger of privacy invasion now. this prevents me from using realvnc as a remote admin tool in combination with wake-on-lan.
i'm almost certain this is a faq, but neither a web search nor the archives have provided a clue - probably a case of Badly Worded Search Request(tm).
if i'm really the first to ask this, how difficult can it be to add this little conditional before prompting, and have the developers thought about doing so?
best regards,
jvrn
