Any tips using RDC over a secure connection? Is this necessary?
Does a RDC connection exchange data that could be sniffed?

The native RDP data stream is encrypted...

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/termserv/termserv/remote_desktop_protocol.asp

With that said some folks, including myself, run RDP through a SSH, SSL or
VPN tunnel. I recently (as of today) started running RDP sessions to my home
LAN through a SSL VPN tunnel.

I'm glad you like that program.... I find it useful for the people in
our accounting group to access their computers remotely.
