AW: weird problem

If SOS allows to login based on Windows NT login ("Use network name for =
user log-on" option in VSS admin), its easy to cicrumvent security. =
Simply set up a PC, create a user "xyz" on that PC (to which it is easy =
to log in since it is your own PC), connect to the VSS on the network =
(using some other credentials that allow access to the network share) =
and - bingo -  VSS will log you on.

This is due to that fact that a network account consists of user name =
and domain, but the VSS user name ist "just" a user name. Effectively, =
users with the same name coming from different domains are treated =
equally.

Gremlins?

I can't think of any way this could happen with SOS, unless a logged in=20
client was left open on a machine.
