Re: MAPPED NETWORK DRIVES

Hi there

the idea of having all the user passwords the same gives me nightmares. I
make a point of  not using my windows password(s) on my AS/400 profiles(s).
Passwords in Windows are about as secure as writing them on a note above
your desk from some of the things I have read. Tools to extract passwords
from windows boxes are readily available on the net.

Your password security is as strong as the weakest place a password is
retrievable from. This is the one thing I wonder about with the whole EIM
idea - will this just made it easier to steal passwords ?

When that message pops up "do you want me to remember your password" how
many of your users would say no ?

I prefer to use guest access for the shared drives - it makes a lot more
sense to me.
