It was suggested that this list is a better place for the suggestion. ------ Having "remote desktop" as an option in the default installation creates a security risk. It invites new users to enable it, not understanding the security implications. They then end up with unwanted connections to their machine. A quick look around the "security discussions" forum on ubuntuforums shows that this happens quite frequently. I propose that it should be removed from the LiveCD. If a remote connection program is needed, then something that *requires* SSH tunnelling could be provided.</pre> <div class="moz-signature">-- Jane Atkinson (Irihapeti) </div> </body> </html>
