Hi,
You don't mention operating systems, but I could envisage that on a linux
system some cunning ssh tunnelling and x-session or VNC forwarding would allow
a remote person to edit a GC data file on your system.
You would need to ensure that the GC data file directory is read/write for
both user names. (or use a dedicated "accounts" user) - but GC doesn't care
who is using what data file; only the OS allowing GC to read/write the file
is all that matters.
I'll leave it as an exercise for the OP to consider the security implications
of allowing remote access into their system.
HTH,
Maf.
