Shalom,

If the PC user is signed on ( to the PC ) with a "user" account (
compared to super user and administrator ) how much harm can a
malicious hacker do thru STRPCCMD and the REXEC service?

When I ran 
  STRPCCMD pccmd( 'net user evil hacker  /add' )

the user "evil" was created with USER rights.  As I understand it,
such a user cannot install any software on a PC.  How would the next
step of using FTP to get and run bo2k.exe get around that restriction?

( btw, thanks for posting these issues.  I look forward to IBM's
detailed response. )
