The software package mentioned earlier is produced by Gravity Storm Software http://securitybastion.com. I have used this software on NT4 with great success. It did not exhibit this behavior. I can't say that is does not exhibit this behavior by default on Win 2000 as I have not tested it. However, I suspect that it could have created the share for it's own use. Most likely to facilitate the distribution of service packs and hotfixes. The version I tested prompted you to do this on your own, perhaps newer versions do not. The maintainer can be contacted with the addresses on the web site. -- Jonathan Rickman X Corps Security http://www.xcorps.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Pre>Lose another weekend managing your IDS?
