There is a version of PCAsnywhere that include only REMOTE, That is it can
not be a host. Installing this version may solve a problem. If you trust
your users not installing the complete version.

Here is  a link for how to build a remote contrall package

Hi,

We have a rule on our firewall that allows all employees to use pcAnywhere 
to connect to a host OUTSIDE  of our network.  It is in one direction...that

is from inside our network to an outside host and not vise versa.  Our 
firewall administrator, came to me and asks me if I had any security issues 
with this.  He does not want the hassle of maintaining a list of employees 
that can do this.

I do not see any glaring problems doing this....what do you think?
