Ok.. I have seen this topic aeveral times on this list, and each time it 
seems it has come to a somewhat unclear conclusion (at least in my 
mind).  Finally, I have run into the same road block as many others, I 
have numerous VNC Servers on 'our' network and the idea of insecure 
communications across the network is really starting to 'irk' me.

With the information I gain/apply here, I will write up a complete howto 
for securing VNC connections.  Ok.. w/ that said, I now have to ask some 
questions..

What is the 'best' most secure way to communicate w/ VNC Server on a 
network?

Most of my clients are Windows users, however I use ONLY Linux and have 
many spare Linux boxen that I could use as 'middle men' if neccesary to 
port forward the SSH connection.

So, basically all I'm looking to do here is find out how to secure a VNC 
connection, should I use the browser interface, ssh, etc..??

Thanks

Jeff
