[bit.listserv.novell] SERVER SECURITY ??

LSBRUCE@UBVMS.BITNET (Bruce N. Cantie) (01/13/90)

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.
