I am running Win NT (all patches/updates) desktop behind a firewall, with
Novel as the LAN software. I was using the optional Personal Web server for
testing some ASP pages until the IT people (who see my group as competition)
informed us there were security problems using PWS.
I am looking for an objective reason why running PWS would or would not
compromise security. Is running PWS on a desktop behind a firewall a
security risk? Why? Talk down to me as I am alittle slow.
My sense is that if a hacker was good enough to breach the firewall, he
would be going after the servers and not wasting his/her talents with my
desktop.
Thanks.
