blanking. This may enhance the security of the sensitive files on your computer
when the remote user views them.

For example, if you are accessing your own computer from a remote location, se-
cure screen blanking will protect your data by preventing anyone near your work-
station from seeing what is happening on your computer or interfering with your
work.

Note that the Lock Out... and Blank... privileges take effect only for remote users
whose computers are running Timbuktu Pro for Macintosh version 8.5.

Control Your Computer

Grants the Control service to the remote user.

Lock Out Your Computer’s Keyboard and Mouse

Disables your keyboard and mouse when the remote user controls your computer.

By default, this option is not selected.

Blank Your Computer’s Screen

Blanks your computer’s monitor when the remote user controls your computer.
When the Control session is complete, your computer will display the screen-
saver and remain locked for your continued security.

By default, this option is not selected.

Opening Transports for Incoming Connections

Remote users have access to your computer only after you’ve enabled one or
more of the transports in the Incoming Access dialog box. You may also enable
and disable incoming access by selecting transports in the Connection menu.

When a network or dial-in transport is switched off, no remote user can use that
transport to connect to your computer. Note that if you turn off a transport, you
can still use that transport to make outgoing connections. Turning off a transport
disables only incoming connections.
