Does anyone know about this new NT server bug (as reported by PCWeek,
http://www.zdnet.com/pcweek/stories/news/0,4153,374497,00.html)

Here is a clip
-------------------

A bug in Microsoft Corp.'s NT Server 4.0 can expose a server's user groups
and users, according to tests done by PC Week Labs.
The bug only affects NT servers set to default settings with no firewall
protection, a configuration rarely seen unless users are not concerned with
security. So while administrators ought to be concerned, simple precautions
can prevent the situation, PC Week Labs analysts said.
