NETWARE SERVER / REMOTE ADMINISTRATION SHARING BUG

Paul Brainard

With Remote Administration and File Sharing for Netware Networks enabled on a Windows 95 machine, once a remote administrator accesses the system, a shared resource pointing to the hard drive is created to which all users on the same network have access. This share remains available even after the administrator logs off the system.

The shared drive is not visible by browsing through the Explorer, but may be found by mapping a network drive to \\computername\C$. This gives read-only access to the entire local hard drive of the sharing computer.
