If you initiate screen sharing via iChat, is this not automatically secure by default?

why go thru the command line shenanigans if this functionality is built into iChat already? *confused*

Perhaps there is no one on the other end to accept the request for screen sharing?

this is an easy one - I have yet to get this feature to work! *grin*

in all honesty, iChat AV has been pretty disappointing overall - dad got video conferencing up in a jiffy on Skype and we still haven't gotten it to work on iChat - there is some irony to be had here. I think iChat is one of the weakest components of Mac OS X but I digress...

thanks for the ssh over VNC tips btw - another reason for me is I'm clear ssh is secure!
