et. al.,

PCWEEK, feb., 12, vol 13 num. 13, page 8:

...While testing InocuLAN 1.01 for an upcoming review, PC Week Labs found 
that the product's installation routine created an NT administrator-level 
account for it's own use, with a preset password that has no expiration...
Creating such an account is not unusual for network operating system 
product installs and is not ordinarily a problem.  However, the InocuLAN 
password is unencrypted and could be discovered by anyone with a moderate 
measure of curiosity and skill...

Later,


Ron DuFresne

OK, so you're a Ph.D.  Just don't touch anything.
