SUMMARY
Net Watcher shows all users who browse a Windows 95 computer as being
connected to all user-level-security shared folders, even if those users
have not been given access rights to any of the shared folders.
Note that this behavior occurs only if the Windows 95 computer has been
configured to use File and Print Sharing for NetWare Networks.
MORE INFORMATION
File and Print Sharing for NetWare Networks (NWSERVER) does not understand
the client's drive mappings and there is no NetWare Core Protocol (NCP)
that can obtain the list of directory handles for a random session. Also,
even if an NCP method existed, users can open a directory handle on an NCP
share on which they do not have any rights (although they cannot view the
contents of the share). Net Watcher shows these users as being connected
to shares to which they have no access rights.
