I have the Enterprise Edition of RealVNC, it uses encryption, that is 
not the security I am concerned about, I am concerned about unauthorized 
users connecting to the machine and adding spyware/adware/viruses and 
possibly connecting to the rest of our network.  These are the things I 
need to find out how to secure.


Hi Adam,

sorry, didn't read the middle bit!

Are you running these boxes in a DMZ environment?

Have you carried out port scans against these systems?

Sorry to ask these questions, but it will give me something to go on. Then we can look at hardening your systems.

regards

Michael
