    There is a version of PCAsnywhere that include only REMOTE, That is it can
    not be a host. Installing this version may solve a problem. If you trust
    your users not installing the complete version.

    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?
