[comp.virus] Viruses and Novell's Netware

gribble@cica.cica.indiana.edu (10/22/90)

I would like to hear of Sys Administrators experiences w/ Viruses on
Novell Networks.  Our servers were infected w/ Jerusalem B several weeks
ago and I'm gathering as much info as I can.

Particuliarly interested in:

- -viruses ability to bypass SRO flags
- -other vulnerable Novell security "holes"
- -what about Execute only?  does it really protect?
- -are the FATs safe?
- -Is Write enough or does a virus also need Modify to bypass the SRO?

I've experimented w/ some of these and haven't arrived at any firm conclusions.
If requested, responses will be kept in strict confidence.
