The Katt going off half Cocked,

Some of you may have read the Spencer Katt column in the latest PCWEEK zdnet.com Where he mentions a "confidential" Novell site that can be accessed from the Internet and implies a lack or Novell firewall security. The portion of the column is attached below.

One of our IS&T guys asked Spencer Katt for URL in question, and he gave the following:

novell.com

and novell.com

These are URLs for a BorderManager Intranet Demo that uses doctored portions of Novell's Innerweb as an example. This is content that is purposely put on www.novell.com to showcase our product. It is not a firewall "hole" or security break-in.

The introductory link explaining the purpose of the demo is:

novell.com

Just thought I'd clear that up before one of doomsdayers started barking, we can't have trash press right after that good story.
