while we're on the topic of remote administration and vnc, lemme give
another tip.

<tip type="Server Admin: VNC" author=".jeff">

if you have multiple servers that you administrate remotely via vnc, then
here's a tip to help you make your life easier.  create a shortcut to the
vncviewer for each server.   give each of these shortcuts an appropriate
name.  go into the properties of the shortcut and add a switch to the target
value for the server name/ip, and whether or not you wish to use 8-bit
display.  you're full target should look like this (where server_name is the
name/ip of the server):

"C:\Program Files\VNC\vncviewer.exe" server_name -8bit

when clicking the shortcut, instead of getting a dialogue asking you which
server you want to connect to, you'll get the password prompt.  key it in
and away you go.

</tip>

enjoy,
