Re: V5R1M0 network being abducted by NT/XP

[thomas@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Roger:

I haven't had the pleasure of playing with this on V5R1. I'll take your word 
for it, but it sure seems like a PTF is needed if a setting isn't provided to 
keep it turned off.

The implication is that you need to individually administer the service on 
every single new XP system you ever install in the same domain. Without 
Administrator rights (say, your LAN administrator is on vacation for a couple 
weeks and the password isn't known), you could conceivably be left with a badly 
misbehaved Windows network. IBM should fix this.

Ouch.
