about PAC Manager · Aug 2011 · Helpful Not helpful Report as spam

So I work for a commercial company so I have a few questions.

First of all, I like the layout of PAC as I have been using it at home. This is something I may want to have implemented at the helpdesk at work and my questions to you is:

Do you have any issues with this being used for commercial purposes?
What is the security of this program compare to other user-based programs being used out there?

Hi!
Sorry for the LATE reply... :( I didn't know people use this page to ask for questions... my fault... sorry :(

No, no problem at all!! :) (anyway, you know, donations are accepted :P ) No, really, you may use it how/where you want! PAC is free! As in freedom!! ;)
Hmmmm... well, I don't think its inherent security may be any problem, since it relies on well known binaries (ssh, rdesktop, ...) and it's configuration is saved with passwords encrypted.

Any doubt, please, don't hesitate to ask! (better through sourceforge.net: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pacmanager/ , since I check it and received notifications).

Anyway, thank you very very much for your interest in PAC!!

David.
