Hello, we were told when we first began installing novell networks
to set up the rights for SYS: as ROS and add additional rights
where necessary for certain applications who require Create
,delete, etc rights.
Well, even though we have a fairly secure menuing system (SABER)
we know that people can escape to the network prompt in several
applications. What we did not know till recently, is that if they
can escape to the network prompt and CD around into various
applications they can copy the software off the server to their
local drives.
Are we missing something very obvious here, this seems like a low
level of security. We do not like to hide all the files, since it
is a real hassel to do administration.
Any solutions, addons, experiences will be appreciated.

One way to make it more difficult for users to cd arounds directories is to hide all the directories with the command "flagdir * h" Then all the subdirectories will be hidden. I have exeperimented around that, and it will need some more "sofistication" if it also will hide directories from the PC Tools ver 5.5 ...... Urban Sundstrom urbans@admin.kth.se

Hello, Somewhere there was a utility called MPROOT (maybe Rodan) that would make the assigned drive appear as the root. So instead of seeing Z:\PUBLIC > you see Z:\ >!! Well, if you can use that it will solve your problems in one direction. Happy Hunting, Kevin Quinn USUHS QUINN@USUHSB.BITNET
