If that were the case, I would make sure that the VNC is set up so that
it can't be taken over.  It might be messy if someone took over a =
engineer
session.  Having autologout wouldn't be good either.  Getting autologged =
out
when you have sysconfig open would not be good.

I prefer to do engineering on a WP or PW, in close proximity to the =
operators.
But then most of what I do is for making changes to a running plant that =
will
(or could) affect the operators.
