What are the security implications of using NTLM? Is NTLM encrypted? What
are the alternatives in a Win2K environment (meaning native to the OS. I'm
not interested in solutions like smart cards for my current needs)? What
are the pros and cons of using NTLM vs other Win2K authentication schemes?

Basically, I'm trying to determine if NTLM is the best course of action for
securing remote user authentication in a Win2K LAN for services such as
telnet. Also, which services can use NTLM? I know this is a lot of
questions, and I plan on reading the technet site for a better understanding
of how it works, but I wanted to get some professional opinions on its
effectiveness.

Thanks in advance,
Brownfox
