Windows NT update carries bug

A software update for Microsoft's Windows NT operating system introduced a bug that
could potentially cripple Lotus Notes unless companies compromise network security.
The bug in Windows NT Service Pack 6 prevents users from accessing Lotus Notes
without administrator rights--the highest and broadest level of access typically
reserved for network managers. Companies generally restrict user access to prevent
security breaches or catastrophic accidental changes to PCs or servers.
The bug puts companies that have applied the service pack in a bind, possibly
forcing them to grant users temporary administrator privileges in order to use Lotus
Notes.
Microsoft periodically releases service packs as a way of adding features to
Windows NT 4 or fixing bugs.
The Redmond, Washington-based software maker is advising customers using Lotus
Notes not to apply Service Pack 6 until a fix is released later this week.
