Thank you Michael. I made it an SOT in case I was flamed by people. It's a sad fact that many installs of SQL Server, version 7 at least, are not as carefully wrapped up as they should be. The actual artical came from "Australian IT" - a well respected source of many things IT related downunder:
http://australianit.news.com.au/ Just to let ppl know. The default install of Microsoft SQL Server (at least version 7, all I could afford) - the default "super user/administrator" settings are NOT secure.

I posted this to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list a day or so back and it's covered in the latest issue of Fusion Authority. As many CF programmers and shops use SQL, it's an important security issue.
