WinVNC 3.3.3.R7 Losing local lockout after locking screen ...

[O'Connor, Rory O]

Here's one for the FAQ:

Do NOT use the remote (Linux at least) viewer's RIGHT Ctrl-Alt with Delete
to bring up the the NT logoff/lockup window!  Use the LEFT Ctrl-Alt with
Delete to perform this function.  Then everything works as expected.  

I thought I was being "smart" in protecting myself from accidentally
rebooting the Linux box by avoiding left Ctrl-Alt with delete!

Thanks.
