Ian, I would suggest that VNC is not a very good idea due to various
security issues, eg.

1. No encryption of traffic over the link so your password is transmitted in
clear text when you connect as is everything else.
2. No lockout so anyone with a connection to you machine can just brute
force the password.
3. No auditing you so have no idea if anyone is trying to force the
password.
4. Anyone who can access the registry can extract and decrypt the password
in about 1 minute flat, done this mayself.
