This is interesting information but not likely a "security breach or hole" -- comprehensive training for network admins will now take on a higher meaning as I am sure something like this is covered in hands-on technical training.

NDS has similar problems when people do not complete the proper steps to perform an action. There's an interesting "inheritance" of rights with NDS that will allow a user to inadvertantly gain "supervisor" rights to the file system of a particular server (or volumes) within a container if you are not careful in granting "supervisor" rights to NDS objects. This is not a security breach but bad administration or planning (You can choose which).

With proper training, this can be avoided. I am sure the scenario which Novell claims is similar in nature. Then again, I'd like to see the methodology of Novell's claim and test it myself - you never know.

Regards,
