My thoughts:
Subseven is useful for remote administration.
You can really freak someone out with VNC/RDP/DameWare/whatever.
(Aah! A ghost is moving my mouse!)
If you don't want antivirus software to detect your backdoor, WRITE IT YOURSELF, DAMNIT! (jestingly, not yelling)
Geez, you can make a remote command prompt in a few lines of C, IIRC.
(never tried it, tho.)
BO2K is great for adminning, but 'suits generally don't like programs with references to anus, written by the Cult of the Dead Cow.
("'suits" being management, of course)
Generally, for the suits to trust a program for admins to use for remote control, it has to have a really lame name and cost at least $200.
BTW, hi, all! I sure have been posting more than my usual amount this year...
Another thing, MailSnare.net is the shiznitz!
(About Me:
My generic handle is bdragon. I have been here for a while. (look at my member #!)
When I post, I generally ramble a bit about a subject, remark on my past posting habits, and disappear for a while.
I frequent the LinuxPackages.net and userlocal.com forums, doing Slackware tech support. I also participate a bit in Flightgear and Crystal Space.
I use Slackware. I would like to use OpenBSD on my home server someday, but my home disk is reiserfs, so I can't until I get another disk large enough to hold my 30 something gigs of ~.
I roll my own PCs. I don't have a job, so it's generally piece by piece.
Why am I saying all this?
Well, I'm bored.
Seeya all next time.)
