COMMAND
Novell Groupwise Client
SYSTEMS AFFECTED
Novell Groupwise Client gw5.5epsp2
PROBLEM
Adam Gray found following. With zen polices or NT Polices
installed properly on a windows machine GroupWise can view the
file system while policies do not allow local access to view the
files system of local or remote drives. The GroupWise client
allows permission to see and call files on all drives. This does
not change or proxy the rights of another user it simply allows
them to see what policies should be hiding.
This problem was caused when Novell used an API that did not check
with OS policies that have been applied to the user. This problem
has been reported and confirmed by Novell Tech Support.
Lock down a windows workstation with zen or NT Policies so you're
not allowed to view local or remote hard drives. Open GW. Open
new message. Click attach. Type in the drive letter you would
like to view. You can see the whole drive and files. This can be
useful for sending a copy of the local sam file on NT or browsing
log files that are on the machine.
SOLUTION
Contact Novell GroupWise Support for a file fix or GroupWise
Client release sp3 will fix this issue.
