VNC

If your system is booted and the Login window is being displayed, then yes, a "Terminal session" of sorts is running. Here's some output from my system log, and my system has not ever been compromised: exception:\nNSRangeException -- *** -: index (0) beyond bounds (0)\nStack trace: 0x3719a 0x915f60fb 0x962e102b 0x962e106a 0x95e2d3df 0x95dab218 0x70568 0x70da7 ...

first, thanks to all for taking the time to consider this issue. Good to know that my optical drive can't write to the install discs. I've stopped assuming anything at this point. As far as knowledge about the other stuff - I've just been doing a ton of reading about mac specific and unix in general. Lots to learn. I've used different passwords and user names each time...

"Over time the Mac allows unknown user(s) to log into the computer, change permissions and eventually obtain root authority. Data is sent from the machine to the internet. Using a combination of ssh or telnet logins with AppleScript automation my machine is consistently compromised. Mouse movements are tracked, passwords are detected by a script that dupes me into thinking the...

Hi Christian, http://osxdaily.com/2007/10/29/how-to-add-a-user-from-the-os-x-command-line-works-with-leopard/ has the details for creating the new user with command line. When using single user mode, you can skip the sudo part. niutil -appendprop . /groups/admin users yourusernamehere for 10.4... Set up the new user, and you can make it add remote desktop or VNC,...

'I read that with Leopard a 3rd party can take over your hard drive remotely if you give permission.' - a person cannot 'take over' your Mac and its devices, if permission, by you, is allowed (via System level settings). Please see the definition of oxymoron. The amount of access you allow is determined by your 'System Preferences' 'Sharing' utility settings; whether you...

All has run well with my new Mac mini until the last two days when I started messing with the network ing. I first lost all contact with the windoze boxes but solved that by spotting that I had set the firewall to 'Allow only essential services'. A change and it all came back! Next 'mistake' was to try to set up VNC (Vineserver on the Mac, tight and UltraVNC on the...

at a time. So the closest you can do is install Fusion or Parallels, and run multiple virtual machines in bridge mode with VNC enabled, so one user can connect to Mac and do something, other users can connect to e.g. XP or Ubuntu and run Photoshop or GIMP there and so on. ...

based, I gotta correct my statement to say, yes, you can do everything you can with a regular VNC client plus a whole lot more... you just can't get it free. ...

For the record, I think you can use ARD with Windows clients, but they won't support all the features (because they are running VNC). from apple: http://images.apple.com/remotedesktop/images/remoteassisthero20060321.jpg
