Re: Identification Externally with Windows 95 Client and Oracle7 Unix-Server

This does work but anyone can create new user-account on a w95 client. So if I know your useraccount is spock on a NT workstation I can create a new profile called spock on the W95 client. Install sql*plus on it and connect using a slash. I'm in under your account .... Keep in mind that this is always an issue as long as you use OS-authentication and allow non secure workstations on your net.

Rob.
