I know VNC is a free remote control product but does it have a way to change the host access password. I was told it does not. Also does it have a back door that would let the makers of VNC into my system that I don't know about?
Thanks,
John

is the VNC website. They've actually got pretty good support there for a free program.
I don't think there's a back door, and yes you can change the host password, and the port that it's accessed on. Overall, I really like it.
My experience is using VNC under Windows - mostly NT 4.0, also Win2K and Win95.
obviously we wouldn't know about a back door but the originator is - in our minds - respectable. Make your own decision after checking the web site or further.
You can make the host password anything you want and can change it at will - even remotely. Instead of a username though you hook up to the machine and respond to a password challenge.
