VNC - help please? - Page 3

Yep, I use the proper client too

I'm also impressed with the OS X client as well. Not come across any major problems yet even though it's a beta. Only thing it didn't like was trying to print to a local printer. It all installed fine but just kept getting garbage out of the printer at this end.

Oh, should also say you'll want to make sure all your local accounts are now either denied RDP access or have strong passwords Stan

Yup, very important. Fortunately remote desktop seems to be a lot less well known for security weakness than VNC (who'd have thunk it from Microsoft), but all the security in the world will do you no good with a weak/non-existant password.
