Robert: I have an ethical responsibility not to instruct readers on cracking Netware. My point was to respond to the exhuberance that NT had a security flaw. Big deal. For every flaw that makes it to the press, there are many others that are only known to administrators, hackers, crackers, software manufacturers, and security people.

Then(assuming they're nlm's), you would have to establish rconsole(with a password) in order to run them. (For the record, the programs that grant supervisor priv. do not reside on the NOVL file server. Any PC that is logged onto the fileserver can execute them from their local hard drive). They are not NLM's. Even if they were NLM's, you certainly do not have to have physical access to the console to cause a Netware fileserver to execute them! (Let's let this topic die, as I agree that it has no place on the silicon investor).
