government too much.)

When I loaded the realvnc onto my WinME computer I got an
additional warning about security that I didn't get on
my WinXP computers. Something about the passwords not
being secure?
A potential intruder would still have to type my password
correctly to gain entry thru the 5902 port (the port I
used) wouldn't they? If its a bunch of random letters and
numbers wouldn't that still be kind of difficult?
I suppose I could check the box that says the local user
will be prompted to allow the connection. That would mean
I couldn't access that computer unless someone was there,
but if that improves security, that would be a reasonable
tradeoff.
Paul:
If you're really wanting to increase security, you should go with some
sort
of encryption, either through tunnelling through SSH or using
Personal/Enterprise version of RealVNC which has encryption built-in.
That being said, what the warning is really saying is that, theoretically,
someone could decrypt the password if they had access to the local
console.
On the other hand, if they've got access to the local console, you've got
more important security problems than someone being able to decrypt the
scrambled password. :-)
