</div></div>I'm on an University, so Teamviewer is not an option (i can't rely on<br>
such a service by security policy).<br>
<br>
The way to support the user when they are actually using their desktops<br>
it's a very good argument i would like to test.<br>
<br>
As i can see, if we choose to not use RDP nor Teamviewer/Logmein/etc. we<br>
have left only VNC.<br>
<br>
¿which one do you recommends to do this job?<br>
<br>
¿is there a way to authenticate with DSA/RSA or the like?<br>

Thanks!<br>
