    Why not use the poor man's VPN and tunnel your terminal services sessions
    over SSH? Works like a charm...

    ssh -L 3389:localhost:3389 administrator@SERVERNAME/IP

    or use your favorite GUI-based SSH client and set up the forwarding...if
    you're looking for a stable and free GUI-based SSH client for Win32, try
    PuTTY (note I do not know the authors of PuTTY, just a happy user of the
    software): http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

    Good luck!

    - Dave

    Does the community have an opinion on which is the best way to do this? Can
    it be done via IP-Sec? Basically we have a machine (tripwire manager) that
    will have access to all our networks. Due to politics (gotta love security
    made insecure by politics) it must be remotely managed. The CIO (god bless
    CIO's) has decided that we will use terminal services. Is there a way to
    encrypt the traffic so it is not flying around the network in clear text?
    Would IP-Sec be the recomended solution?

    Suggestions or links (or gentle shoves) to the information would be great.

    Thanks
