The passwords are there along with all sorts of other
interesting things.  IPX has its own unique set of
flaws and security considerations.  Moreover since
Novell corporate is very tight-lipped about them
the information is not as readily available.  IMO
this gives the product users a false sense of security.

Is it more secure than TCP?  Not really, Novell (like everything else)
depends on how well it's being administrated and the
physical layer products being used.

... And now back to our normal firewall discussions.
