     Hi,

     I've found a Unix implementation of NetBIOS Auditing Tool called
nbaudit (don't know if this is a port of NAT from win32 or the other way
around).  Normally it's very useful, but has a nasty habit of dumping core
in the middle of execution.  Has anyone else encountered this?  Thanks very
much.

Yes, it often dumps core while trying password brute force guessing.  I haven't
been sufficiently motivated to try and determine the cause, as I don't use it
for password guessing (^C is my friend if it gets that far).

I usually just run it on neighboring systems that port scan my net for NetBIOS
listeners, as nbaudit/nat provides a quick and simple check for unpassworded
open shares.  A WinDOS PC scanning for NetBIOS listeners together with that PC
offering an unpassworded C: drive share is a very practical indication of
infestation by one of the many open share worms.
