Isn't there a product called Tight VNC that is more secure?

be advised vnc is not secure. while it works great it can be a huge
security
hole.

there is a company called snapgear (snapgear.com) that makes embedded
linux
firewall products based on the freswann packages. I have one in an
office
and am highly impressed with it. while not free you pay for tech support
and
a web based interface to it. while you still have access to the raw
config
files to tweak to your hearts content.

Take care,

Egads,

That was going to be my next question. I think I will have an
opportunity
to take us from NT as the VPN host to Linux as the host for our MS
clients.
Has anyone ever used this freeswan.org product commercially?

Also there is VNC, but I thought that was only from linux to linux. Did
not
know there was a MS version available.

Anybody have experience with making Linux into a VPN server for
Microsoft
VPN
clients? I wanted to get the scoop and any caveats about this.
Currently,
the Linux box runs file services with Samba and SSH for administration,
but
it doesn't support the windows clients coming in with their version of
VPN.

I am going to do a search, but I wanted to get the inside from you folks
that
have done this before.
