weird behavior

[Kumar, Siva]

Have you tried changing the password?

vnc server lets you see the list of vnc viewers connected to it. I think if
you right click on the vnc icon in the system tray (of the XP machine) you can
find the option. the next time it happens you can find out the ip from which
the connection is made.

another crazy thought... do u have vncserver running on your client machine?

I know for sure that no one is physically typing those commands on the remote
machine. There is a monitor connected and I have a couple of guys watching the
screen as I walk them through a demo. The sneak activity is the same each time
... Start --> Run --> "cmd" -->

Thanks,
Ritu

	I have VNC server 4.1.2 installed on a remote machine running XP. I have
	used it for a few months and it has worked great. But recently, whenever
	I connect to this machine using the VNC Client, after sometime, it seems
	like someone else sneaks in and starts running the command prompt. I
	have to kill the VNC server to stop any damages. One time, I stayed on
	long enough to see that an "ftp" command was getting typed on the
	command prompt. I have set up the server with password authentication.

	Has anyone else seen this behavior? Any help or pointers will be greatly
	appreciated.
