Hi Jim,
I am not Anne, I suspect she is much nicer to look at them am I.
I can tell you with regards to windows security that on XP pro and home,
new users are created with admin rights.. you have to explicitly change
that if you want to.
Whereas in linux, a person doens't have admin rights unless you explicitly
give it to them.
As for linux being able to bypass windows passwords, if it can, then its
likely the same thing would be doable from any OS that can read NTFS.. not
just linux, so you might see the same thing from freedos or any *BSD
variant in the future.
Mandrake can actually resize NTFS partitions, so it would not surprise me
at all to learn you can use it to bypass windoze security.
If you want to stop being able to boot a linux CD, then password protect
your bios and stop the booting from CD or floppy.
At least then they will have to take the cover of your PC and reset the
bios to be able to do it.
regards
Franki

Not true Anne if you implement security in windows everyone is not a
admin.
But The fact that knnopix can access any windows file system is dangerous
to
me to run Windoze.
I read an article the other day that said mandrake 9.1 and other stuff can
easily reset Windoze passwords. Evewn the administrator one. I don't like
this. this is why I am asking this question.
I happen to love Linux. You don't have to convince me. I have to convince
my
bosses. IT Director. That is why I am asking these questions to the expert
group so I have more evidence that Windoze has to go.
