If nobody's logged into the system, you'll get the normal login procedure. If you disconnect without logging out, you'll get the previous screen when you connect & authenticate again (I only just tested this). To tunnel this through SSH or whatever, you'd probably need OpenSSH installed on the Windows system and fiddle around some. It might be less fiddling to setup IPSec encryption in some cases (which is included in W2K or XP and can be had for Linux). RDP is certainly more lightweight than VNC. Another option would be NX - I'm not sure though whether the FreeNX server has already been ported to the Windows platform. Greetings, Eric
