Florian, Thor, Matt, and all the others who wrote to me privately.

Thank you all for your prompt replies.

To sum up, it appears as though there are no trivial ways to do this with a
standard Windows NT 4.0 server, running a normal spooler, without a sniffer
of some sort running on the network or on the NT server itself.

Basically, this would be a non-trivial attack on our network topology, and
would require installation of software on the target server, or the use of a
hub/tap/mirrored switch port on the network near the server itself. It would
also require console access to the print spooler server, or a remote
installation of a remote control package.

I shall use all of your replies in my report today, and I appriciate your
well meaning concern about our administrative issues. I will mention your
names as well as your ideas, as I always attempt to give credit to those who
did the work.

Thank you again.

Sincerely,
