Vino, Meet Security

From FOSSwire:

Vino, GNOME’s remote desktop (VNC) server, is nothing new. It has been around since GNOME 2.8, over three years ago. The only problem with it is the fact that there is slim to no security exposed in the interface. Thankfully, with the release of GNOME 2.22 in a little over a month, we can hopefully stop compulsively worrying about the state of our computers.

And about time, no? Finally Gnome (and therefore Ubuntu) users will be able to access their computer remotely without having to do a marathon securing it from each end. As nice a feature as this sounds though, I’ll be holding out for a while on actually using it until some proper security bods have had a go at defeating it.
