When I was putting together some material a couple of years ago, the
only source was a few pages out of the huge (and expensive) four-volume
Microsoft administrators' reference manual.  A quick Web search does
turn up:

	Trusted Systems' Windows NT Security textbook
	http://somarsoft.com/security.htm

and other sporadic network resources.  Just enter "Windows NT security"
to Alta Vista and watch the resources pop up.

Much has been made of NT's "C2" certification.  I've heard that it was
certified without the standard NT file system; and with that file
system, it can't be certified.  Beware.
