RE: [Fwd: Re: [SLE] stealth VNC connection]
Anyway, If you believe or not, my request has an legitimate, but also private, reason.
Orn replied: Whatever those reasons are, they are yours ... however, for all purposes the integrity of you and your reasons, is not established. Nor is this list the place to ask, or aqcuire such things. Even, iff there were people on here who knew, they'd hardly be willing to announce them selves... and I sincerely doubt they'd be willing to do that for free. This might be an issue though when it comes to a business. My wife works at a help desk in the health insurance area and the managers are running a piece of software that allows them to do just what this poster is trying to do. I personally wouldn't want to work in a situation like that but I can see some companies needing the ability for customer security reasons as well as other ones. Companies that have the means to do this now will never give it up either, so Linux would have to provide some means to give them what they want.

It's not as if it's particularly hard to accomplish. "Linux" provides, the question is just if that is a world we want to live in

How much have our ancestors payed, for the freedom we have? Is it really such a small thing, that we throw it away without further thought? I think not.

It is possible, for example, to record all user activity on a system. But where that happens, the system needs to warn users of that logging activity, before hand - even to crakers! If you don't, and then try to use that information, it would be deemed illegal on many countries. It is possible your wife's contract mentions the fact that they are monitored. I read about this recently, "CERT® Advisory CA-1992-19 Keystroke Logging Banner" -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
