You know that evreyone will be able to connect as anyone he wants. He only need the username for the other person. Even if you work with Windows 95, You can downlowd some little programs (from the internet) that hack the password from the PWL file. Or don't logging to the NT only to the windows with the same username.

If security important to you, I don't recomend about using OS_REMOTE_AUTHENT. Received on Sun May 11 1997 - 00:00:00 CDT
