how to prompt local console only when somebody is logged in?

[Jörn Nettingsmeier]

hi vnc folks!


first of all, huge kudos to all contributors for a really smooth piece 
of software, and for sharing your work under the gpl!


i'm planning to use realvnc both as a helpdesk and remote administration 
tool.

it's very important for me that my users don't feel they are being spied 
on, so i configured all servers on the windows 2k clients to display a 
prompt before accepting an incoming vnc request.

unfortunately, even when nobody is logged in, the prompt is displayed, 
although there is no danger of privacy invasion now. this prevents me 
from using realvnc as a remote admin tool in combination with wake-on-lan.

i'm almost certain this is a faq, but neither a web search nor the 
archives have provided a clue - probably a case of Badly Worded Search 
Request(tm).

if i'm really the first to ask this, how difficult can it be to add this 
little conditional before prompting, and have the developers thought 
about doing so?

best regards,

jvrn
