I'm writing something for the Windows platform.  I'll let you know when it is complete.

Simply   set  one  computer  up  as  you want it (with the default
password. Then goto regedit (Start | Run | Regedit)

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Sofware\ORL then goto Registry | Export
Registry File...
This  will  bring  up a save dialog and you can save the settings to a
known  location.  All  you  then need to do is to install VNC and then
double  click  on  the  registry file (<file name>.reg) this will then
merge  those  settings  into  the registry, you will get the following
prompt (no quotes)

"Are you sure you want to add the information in [<your file name>].reg
to the registry?"

Click yes and there you have it!

If  you  have set up your machines correctly you can push the software
onto  them, though it might not be present in Win9X/NT4. Unfortunately
I am not familiar with this technology.

You  might have problems with the VNC Icon being present in the system
tray  as Win95 to ME do not run services as NT, 2000, XP does. But you
should be able to do it as I have descibed above.

This is perhaps one of many ways of doing it.
