How to block VNC clients' mouses and keyboards?

1

Could you tell me how to block VNC clients' mouses and keyboards? It means that clients can only watch activities happening at the remote computer, not participate in.

UPDATE: Wil said that it depends on the VNC variant. In my situation, the remote computer is actually a Xen (or VMware, KVM) virtual machine, so I considered using the hypervisor's built-in VNC server. However, I haven't been obliged to use any specific one yet, so please feel free to suggest what you know.

This really depends on what VNC varient you are currently using.

Many VNC programs have an option for Viewer Only, Disable remote events or similar.

Here are the options for RealVNC on Windows: alt text So, let us know what you are using and we can try to be more specific to help you!
