[Casper] Non Casper Question- Remote Access

[Steven Diver]

Casper and ARD are complimentary here, we use ARD for remote access,
troubleshooting, monitoring, etc. and to logging to some extent, although
I really envision Casper taking more the role of logging who access what
machines and at what time should I need to go back and find that data.

Anyway, ARD can tell you who logged in, and at what time if you know a
little UNIX (send a UNIX command last as root). If you have an ARD Task
Server on your network, you can spread that data collection out over
longer period of time than with just a single intermittent ARD connection
(ie. to collect data from your client machines and store it for a longer
period of time).

Then obviously, logs within Casper should tell you who accessed a machine
and at what time.
