Windows Remote Desktop

[Michael Gale <michael () bluesuperman com>]

Hello,

        I have a question, I have locked down a company network allowing only
web browsing, SSH and FTP. Nothing else is need and soon SSH and FTP
will be gone hopefully once the VPN is final.

Right now a internal user is complaining about the fact their remote
desktop connection to their home PC is no longer working.

The justification is that a remote PC out side the network is needed for
testing. At which point I gladly offered to setup a out side box for
testing. :)

Any ways the question I have is, do you feel that Remote Desktop (into
WinXP) is a secure enough connection to allow it. I mind you that this
is supposed to be a  outbound connection only but you never know with
windows.
