Hi all,
Do there exist any alternatives to Timbuktu Remote and Microsoft
Remote Desktop for the Mac? I want to access an iMac at work, using
if possible an open-source solution at home.
Thanks for reading,
bob prohaska |

Have a look at OSXvnc as the sever and either Chicken of the VNC or the
faster JollysFastVNC as the client. While VNC sopports a simple
password authentication scheme, I would strongly suggest you go the
extra mile and deploy them using an SSH tunnel.

A very nice custom VNC solution is built into 10.5, if you can run that.
If not, "OSXvnc.app" and "Chicken of the VNC.app" are a nice pair.

And I have to say, I've been very impressed with its performance. Blows
the socks off Chicken and Jolly's for accessing my home machine from the
office. >> Stay informed about: remote desktop apps? |

At the same time, it has some rather annoying bugs. For instance, on
more than one occasion, I've found it in a state where all clicks were
registered as control- or right-clicks.

I haven't tried it, but do you know if the built-in solution permits
tunneling through SSH?
