    I don't know if there is anyone running Groupwise anymore (I guess I'd be 
    surprised) but this is worth a look if you are.

    >Novell has discovered a security issue with GroupWise. This issue only 
    >affects GroupWise 5.5 Enhancement Pack and GroupWise 6 customers. A fix, 
    >called the Padlock Fix, has been developed and is available on Novell's 
    >support Web site at: http://support.novell.com/padlock
    >
    >We have sent a message to all GroupWise customers for whom we have contact 
    >information. If you have customers who are running GroupWise, please call 
    >them, inform them of this issue, and ask them to download the Server 
    >Padlock Fix immediately. There is both a server and client fix. Once the 
    >Server Padlock Fix is applied, that server and its corresponding 
    >workstations are secured. The Client Padlock Fix then needs to be applied 
    >to return the overall system to optimum performance.  Again, we recommend 
    >that all of your customers apply the Server Padlock Fix immediately.

    >Novell is not releasing details about the security issue at this time so 
    >that our customers have time to secure their systems.  GroupWise 4.x, 5.0, 
    >5.2, and 5.5 servers and clients are not affected. Customers with these 
    >versions need not apply the fix.
