Depending on how your OS has been setup, it may allow access to the file 
via anonymous logon (NULL session). It may be better to set it for a 
particular users, or config your local security sessions to prevent NULL 
sessions.

hope that helps.

Just wondering in Win2K server, when I share a folder, I set the 
share
permissions to full access for everybody, and then control access 
using
the file permissions. (Basically cos it cuts down on administration, 
and
I'm lazy.) Are there any security issues running this way, or is it 
much
of a muchness?

  First of all, I presume that by "file" permissions, you mean "NTFS
permissions" -- which, of course, presumes that you're *using* NTFS.

  If all that's true, then you're probably okay.  The remaining risk is
that you may make shares visible and even mountable (even if all other
access is denied) to people whom you might prefer not even know they
exist.
