I might have to administer a Windows 2000 machine from another Windows 2000 box for some time - and as money is short, cheap is a big plus here. Barring w4r3z, are there any free alternatives that get the job done, and don't leave wide open gaping security holes for any h4x0r to get into? Thanks...

Apart from that, just wait til the more clueful people show up :-) Or, a quick Google search on Pc Anywhere brought up a sponsored link to [link\|http://www.sunbelt-software.com/product.cfm?id=470\|Radmin by Sunbelt Software]. First I've heard of it, but it lays claim to being a 'PC Anywhere Killer', according to 'a user'. On and on and on and on, and on and on and on goes John.
