quick tip here about using vnc with lion.

after upgrading to lion i noticed that my vnc mocha client application on the ipad just dropped me at the login screen of the host machine i was connecting too. after some research i found that they have beefed up security in lion that you can no longer just set a vnc viewer password and connect. you have to fully pass the login and password credientials of the user account your connecting too to view the screen.

while this is great for security it can mean that your sending out your login and password over the air (if wifi like us) to your main account so please do watch that. personally i’m using a vpn between the two so it causes me no problems.  we use vnc mocha (a free vnc client) to watch the desktop on the main mac pro for greenscreen key issues and to be able to remote control the shot and recording.

i hope this helps someone.
