One of the other issues which we're going to need to consider is exactly
how secure can we really make an NT server, and at what level is it OK
to risk MIT data on an NT machine?
I.e., is it safe enough for random department data? MIT accounting
data? Student Information Records, protected under the Buckley
Amendment? etc. The policy decision is probably outside the scope of
this group, but trying to get a better understanding of exactly how
secure _really_ is an NT machine is something that we might want to try
to tackle.
