Oh, Please DO!
At least if he wanted the same thing as I want. A way to upgrade the
VNC-server without having to physically be present. For me it doesn't
have to be fully automated. I have clients on the other side of the country.
Having to dedicate a whole day just to get there and upgrade the vncserver would be expensive
and feel quite stupid.
But it must be a foolproof upgrade so it doesn't abort half-way.
And while I'm at it, what I believe is most wanted is a good encryption
(and compression).
Couldn't be too hard to compile in SSLeay or something, could it?
