I need some kind soul to point me to where I might be able to find some documentation on what you shouldn't allow on systems connected to the Internet. Specifically, I am an Admin. of two 386i workstations, currently on Internet. For obvious reasons I disabled the default capability of allowing users (anyone) to create their own account. Because of department politics, I find myself in the position of having to defend this action with something more than my own word, that this is a major security breach and should not be allowed on the network. Are there any references, papers, archived do's and dont's, or anything else I could use out there? Thanks muchly for any help! Please reply by email. Thanks Al.
