[ubuntu-uk] Remote Desktop

[Chris Rowson]

Hi folks,

Does anyone know much about the remote desktop stuff in Ubuntu? system
> preferences > remote desktop

It's basically a app to control VNC isn't it?

I wanted to be able to offer remote support to a friend across the
internet, but don't want to compromise the security of his computer
adversely. Hence I didn't want it to run on a default port etc...

Does anyone know how to shore this up a little?

Thanks as always

Chris
