Hi ...


Scanning hosts running the Tiny Personal Firewall (2.0.15a) on W2K
workstations that have been locked (ctl + alt + del)

The popup alert/dialogue jumps to the foreground, thus open to accept
permit/deny input from the local console, even when the workstations are
locked (ctl + alt + del).  Thus an untrusted individual whom has local access
to individuals workstations can scan a workstation/network, wait for the popup
alert dialogue and enter "permit" on unattended (locked workstations) without
the owners permission/knowledge, No need to first unlock (ctl + alt + del)
...


CHEERS ...
