Remote Desktop

[R S Gill]

Ok I'm trying to be as detailed as possible about what I need. 

Just so everyone is clear, the built in remote desktop in Dapper, as far
as I can tell is VNC (VNC allows remote connections to the mashine, but
rdesktop is available to connect to windows boxes). I have also tried
using freenx but suspend and resume with freenx is flaky.

I need a way to setup remote desktop such that when I access my server,
no one who is in the server room can watch what I am doing on the
server. Right now, anyone who has access to the server can view
everything that is going on when the server is accessed remotely.

And yes I am aware that VNC is slower and is not encrypted. I'll deal
with the slowness and I use an SSH tunnel the VNC connection to VNC.

I just need some help blanking the remote screen while the machine is
being connected to with VNC. And once the VNC session is ended, the
remote machine needs to have the screen lock activated.
