I have a Windows 3.1 laptop with a WWW server installed (freeware). I 
assume anybody on your internal network could do likewise. There are also
freeware ftp servers out there and at least one telnet client that can 
act as an ftp server while the telnet session is in progress. 

Then there is that bright guy in accounting who decides to set up an 
internal www server with access to all the customer billing information 
and sets it up as http://www.yourcompany.com. Oops, now everybody hunting 
for your public WWW server gets the not-confidential-any-more facts and 
figures.

Of course, I don't know any of these Novell-based products and I could be 
completely wrong about the degree of packet filtering and so forth...
