This seems to me (personally) to be less of a vulnerability than a use issue. For example, folders shared on the system are available to the network regardless of whether the system console is locked or not. Other activity that the system may be performing will continue as well. Locking the workstation is not the same as logging it off. Since the hotsync manager is a desktop application and the desktop is still "active" while the workstation is locked, I don't think this is a security flaw. Locking the workstation is what you should do when you go to use the restroom, not when you leave for the day. Corey M.
