[AG-TECH] Any Mac VNC Server Recommendations?

[John I Quebedeaux Jr]

OSXvnc works on Intel Macs in native mode. Suggestion: if you use it  
on computers that have high end visibility/access on networks -  
change the port for accessing it and disable it's feature for  
announcing itself to the network locally. That will help limit  
attempts to break into your VNC which, if that machine is already  
logged in at the desktop, gives a person potential admin access to  
your machine. I routinely make sure the screen saver uses a password  
for access so just in case someone does get in, they still have  
another layer to get through.

I've not seen OSXvnc broken into, but... I've seen RealVNC broken  
into all the time. I don't go begging for folks to try to get in  
another way... :-)
