VNC Security and Privacy

[geoff@3lanes.freeserve.co.uk]

I hope this does not get mailed more than once, had a wee problem with my registered address.

I am curious, the documentaion from the VNC page has the following;

Send clipboard updates to clients
SendCutText=true/false 	This option, if unticked, prevents the VNC Server from 
informing clients of changes to its local clipboard contents. This can be useful when 
untrusted clients are to be allowed to connect to the VNC Server, since it prevents any 
private data being accidentally leaked via the clipboard.

The above refers to untrusted clients connecting to the server, why would you allow an 
untrusted client to connect anyway.
