Did anyone see yesterday's InfoWorld? Cringely on pg. 110 mentions that there is a program floating around called secure.com that can open up the bindery on 386 servers and let someone change the supervisor password. Hmmm.... maybe I should hold off on that upgrade.

I wouldn't hold off on an upgrade due to obscure possible security holes (that in the past have turned out not to exist).
