It's a pretty severe security problem in an institutional environment such as ours, where phone numbers are likely to include long distance access codes which *must* be kept private. A similar problem which we have identified but not fixed is related to phone numbers used by the phone manager. Not only should users' phone directories default to being read-protected, but the way the CTRL-F2 "Call" function key works is a misfeature: it dumps you into the last call screen used, which may be that of another user! --- Prentiss Riddle ("Aprendiz de todo, maestro de nada.") --- Opinions expressed are not necessarily those of Shriners Burns Institute. --- riddle@woton.UUCP {ihnp4,harvard}!ut-sally!im4u!woton!riddle
