    Question Passwords

    I need to set a password on a Windows NT machine so noone can enter the PC without the code. The machine is on a Novell Netware network and needs a password for that(Which can not be changed). I want to set up an additional password so you can actually connect to the network through novell, but you then again have to sign in on the machine. I have problems at work with some one goijng into my computer! Please help

    Apart from setting a password in the PC's BIOS, no ideas come to mind for what you're trying to do. The network password is all that's necessary to access a workstation in a standard setup. Setting a BIOS password is rather easy to circumvent though, and your IT dept may not authorize them at all.

    How about asking the network admin to log accesses to your PC if you think someone has your network user password?

    Netware has a logging feature which can be set up on a user account to see when/where it has been used.

    There are also some keyloggers out there that could tell you which user account was used to access a specific workstation, but I'm not sure if that would beuseful for you.
    Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. -Douglas Adams

    Cool

    If you are not the sole network administrator for your company, your password is subject to change with out notice.....

    I think the user names have to be different for Netware and the NT box, otherwise you won't be asked for the second login.

    MacGyver. Thanks. Thats what i need.

    The company i work does not have a network admin. They are way too cheap. I do some of it myself. The rest is outsourced, but I am starting my own Co. so hopefully I will not have the deal with this **** anymore.
