[TriLUG] VNC

[Janyne Kizer]

Well, you can tunnel it through SSH but I'm still figuring that one
out.  They say the password (I'm thinking the VNC password) is not sent
over the network but the traffic between the VNC viewer and the VNC
server is unencrypted.  I'm thinking that this means that if you have a
screen saver password, etc. that would be sent across the wire
unencrypted.

FWIW, the document on SSH is here:
