safety

[Angelo Sarto]

The other option that I use is SSH

SSH allows you to tunnel any port over a secure connection.  It also
can allow in some circumstances to run the SSH server on any computer
and tunnel traffic through it.

e.g.

pc1--->ssh client ---->ssh server<----ssh client<-----pc2
vnc<----------------------------------------------------------------->vnc

However, SSH is also a dificult beast to tame.   

The quickest and easiest solution would probably be vnc enterprise
which should be available soon.   (right Wez?)
