How is the UNIX version of Enterprise VNC coming along?
I didn't see Brandon's question answered in the FAQ, by the way.
For Linux/UNIX - I am not concerned about the encryption scheme used in
VNC. If someone has access to the encrypted password, they already have
access to that account and write permissions on the file. They could
change the password, if they wanted to. They could do a lot of things.
Really, if they can read your password file, they've already got you. We
have to focus on stopping them from getting that far. I would say that it
is better to worry about using SSH, VPN and other schemes to keep VNC
secure. I think the Enterprise VNC for UNIX will be good for me.
For Windows - I don't know, but maybe password file encryption is a much
more important issue there.
