Can you disable remote pointer & keyboard with a UNIX VNC server?

Lee...

Thanks for responding. In the documentation for WinVNC they have a property for disabling the mouse and keyboard for any new incoming connections. Per the documentation, this is a property for the server. I probably didn't word my e-mail well, but we were hoping that we could do the same thing for VNC sessions set up with a UNIX VNC server.
