• Thread-topic: Concerns Giving ARD to Users?

Good day,

What considerations or possible issues should I be concerned about regarding a user who would like to use ARD 2?  He renders 3D animations over weekends, and since they occasionally fail, he’d like to be able to check the progress using ARD over a VPN connection from his home.  This would spare him an hour round trip to the office.

We have three local administrator accounts on each machine.  We have modified the sudoers file so that our account and root are the only accounts capable of performing sudo commands.  But, there are a few people who know the password in the field, and that is not MY fault.  So, the user could own any machine in the network, if he obtained the ARD 2 console and our account password.  (We are planning to change our admin password soon, so that SHOULD help matters.)

I feel bad for the guy if he has to drive an hour on a Saturday to check his renders, but hey, I don’t want to compromise my systems either.  Is there a secure way to reach middle ground?

Thanks and have a great weekend,

Mike
