I must apologize if this question has already been answered on this
mailing list, but I am a recent subscriber and this just came up from
our development crew.
As I understand it (from them), by using the OBDC API, there is a
command ( OBDCtrace) which can be used to detect UserID and Password of
any accounts accessing the DataBases.
This seems to me to be a major security hole in any NT system using
databases.
Has there been any discussion, solutions, or other postings about this
potential exploit?
