Close on the C2 rating. NT was rated with NTFS and requires it. What
the rating excluded was networking. Although, there has been a lot of
noise on here lately that C2 does not cover or include networking. I'll
leave that to the pundits.

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.
