T 2.33 Siting of Novell Netware Servers in an insecure environment

Siting of Novell Netware servers in an insecure environment (e.g. corridors, unlocked server rooms) creates a considerable threat to IT security.

Direct input into the server-console or loading of NLMs (Netware Loadable Modules) can cause deactivation of the installed security measures, without the administrative personnel i.e. IT security-management being aware of this.

Example:

By loading special NLMs, it is possible to create a user equivalent to a supervisor. That is to say, an existing user can get the same privileges as a supervisor.
