Is anyone aware of any issues WRT security of the LanSchool[1] software
product?

"LanSchool creates a computer lab where teaching and learning can really
take place. LanSchool gives Teachers control of the environment by
taking away distractions, demonstrate skills and monitor student
activity."

LanSchool is an application with an "agent" that is installed on
"student" PCs.  Another agent, the "teacher" component is installed on
the workstations of professors, etc. and allows them to perform various
interactions with the student PCs, such as blanking the screens (to
prevent students from using the PCs), remotely viewing a students
screen, etc.

I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who has used or deployed this
product.

Thanks,
-j
