Security is not the issue; I have dedicated hardware encrypted VPN's to
the machines and they are not connected to the internet. The VNC
circuits are also encrypted. The problem is the machines are in small
retail stores & I want to make sure that the employees don't mess with
them. If there is no keyboard, video, or mouse connected to them, they
leave them alone. If there is K/V/M connected, someone invariably wants
to touch & play. Unfortunately, because of the environment, putting them
in a locked room doesn't work. So, the easiest solution, up to this
point, has been to simply remove K/V/M & administer them via VNC.
