Hi there,<br />
<br />
I'd like to run Apple Screen Sharing to remotely connect to a machine running Leopard, but Apple's vnc solution (&quot;Screen Sharing&quot;) is not secure enough for my liking.<br />
<br />
I'd feel much more comfortable if &nbsp;everything was running over SSH, removing pasword authentication and only able to connect from a machine that has my SSH private key.<br />
<br />
This used to be easy in Tiger using 'OSXvnc' -- which had an option, &quot;Only allow local connections (require SSH)&quot; -- but apparently this is not compatible with Leopard.<br />
<br />
Anyone know how I can accomplish this?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance for any help,<br />
&nbsp;Blair.<br />

How to *securely* run Leopard Screen Sharing (vnc over ssh)

Apple devices including Macs, iPhones, iPods and iPad support standard wired and wireless networking technologies, but they also utilize custom applications and some special techniques for networking with each other and with non-Apple devices. Apple manufacturers the AirPort line of wireless networking products, and has its own networking protocols, AppleTalk and AFP (Apple Filing Protocol).
