RealVNC, stop users from shutting down system services?

Post by mudslag »

I run a vnc server (Realvnc) for work. Everyday during the week the pc shuts down but not on the weekend. As far as I can tell I dont have any program or system setting that's set to shut down the pc. Part of me thinks its one of the idiots who uses the server shutting it down but I cant be 100% sure. Is there any way to keep users from shutting down the system? I need them to be able to use mouse and keyboard but limit them to just the program being used.

If no such limit with real vnc, what about another vnc program?

There was a "seamless window" / single window function in UltraVNC but it's broken -- http://forum.ultravnc.info/viewtopic.php?t=27920

You're giving people remote control of a whole system, so of course they can shut it down.

You could do a hack like http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-ti ... and-vista/ but it's mostly smoke and mirrors.
