Generally, that means the desktop interface (your windows, menus, mouse and keyboard) can be remotely controlled/accessed from another computer. So, using your Linux computer, you could act as if you were using your Windows computer, or vice versa. If you don't need that functionality, then deny it, and go through reconfiguring your Windows machine to stop offering to share its desktop. Really, it shouldn't be making that attempt unless you initiate it. If it's doing it automatically, I wonder if you have a compromised Windows box. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.14.5-200.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Mon Jun 2 15:03:19 UTC 2014 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
