COMMAND

    clipboard

SYSTEMS AFFECTED

    Win NT

PROBLEM

    Jim Credland posted following.  If you lock your workstation  it's
    still possible to paste the contents of the clipboard buffer  into
    the  "User  name"  prompt.   Not  terribly  clever for hiding what
    you've been  doing.   According to  Fiji, it  is also  possible to
    paste passwd info on NT and Novell clients.  There have been a few
    occasions  where  users  have  typed  in  their  passwd and before
    hitting enter have  decided to highlight  and erase their  passwd.
    Someone can come  along after these  unscrupolous users and  right
    click then paste their passwd back again.

SOLUTION

    Microsoft  acknowledge  the  problem  but  made  no promises about
    fixing it.  Obvious workaround - clear content of clipboard.
