I belive SP6a fixes the TCP sequence prediction issues. if not i am certain
there is a hotfix for it. In fact, if i remember correctly, the whole SP6 vs
SP6a deal was about this hotfix not being in... Someone correct me if i am
wrong here :)

What SP were those NT boxes at?

  Pardon me if this is a trivial question but after nmapping several servers
I find that NT boxen usually come up with:

  TCP Sequence Prediction: Class=trivial time dependency
                           Difficulty=6 (Trivial joke)

  I was wondering how to increase the security here (besides removing NT and
installing OpenBSD).
