RE: Internet security on "hotspots"

Whoops, one amendment- "Guest" (the built-in account, and only that one
guest account) is part of "Users", IIRC, but not "Authenticated Users".
Sorry about that. I haven't had my coffee today. :-) In any case, the URL I
gave might still be useful.

Authenticated Users and Everyone are not the same, and the
difference between them has nothing to do with the Guest
account or Guests/Domain Guests groups. In Windows 2000 and
earlier, Everyone includes Anonymous Logon. In Win2K3, the
Anonymous Logon account was removed from the Everyone group.
Mixed-mode domains (Win2K) and Windows 2000 mixed functional
level domains (Win2K3) have nothing whatsoever to do with the
membership of the Everyone group. Mixed mode/FL relating to
groups is about whether or not you can create universal
security groups and fully utilize domain local groups. Last,
the built-in Guest account is part of both Authenticated
Users *and* Everyone.

An old post I wrote so I don't have to type the details up again:

How about looking into using IPSec with a Pre-shared key (since the
home user likely does not have a Cert Authority or AD)?

That link does have a few misnomers. Using "Authenticated
Users" on
shares over Everyone is only necessary in a mix-mode domain.
Otherwise, AU and Everyone are the same (as 2000 removed Guest from
the Everyone group).
