    Hi,

    We have a rule on our firewall that allows all employees to use pcAnywhere
    to connect to a host OUTSIDE of our network. It is in one direction...that
    is from inside our network to an outside host and not vise versa. Our
    firewall administrator, came to me and asks me if I had any security issues
    with this. He does not want the hassle of maintaining a list of employees
    that can do this.

    I do not see any glaring problems doing this....what do you think?
