As my pet subject has raised its head again I'll take this opportunity to
have another rage. Security on the I/A system is without doubt an
afterthought. Now you may be able to make an excuse for the Solaris
environment given were it developed from. Lets face it there was not a
queue of people trying to connect Venix to their corporate networks!.
BUT the Windows implementation was developed when such things were normal
practice. To even have to discuss if a password can be changed or not shows
a total disregard for the customer. Sure there are practical reasons why
these things are not easy but these should have been part of the design.
Just think about the absurdity of the situation. We are allowed to protect
the plant via various Foxview/DM protection functions. You can even buy an
add-on product to keep records and track changes. BUT you cannot easily
stop somebody logging in to you box as an administrator and destroying all
your software!!!
Just a little thought for the people who own and maintain these systems in
the real world would be appreciated.

Well I had my favorite Fox Field Tech. come in and help. After changing =
the
password back and rebooting I still had problems. We think the other =
problem
was that I also had a Network drive permanently mapped and that may have =
stalled=20
the startup long enough to mess the Fox App's auto start. I unmapped =
and rebooted
everything seems fine.

It's Illegal to change the passwords of either Foxboro accounts...Fox or
Administrator...If you change either password....fox_apps.dat does not =
get
processed during bootup...thus Foxboro applications will not =
work....MUST
maintain those 2 accounts per Foxboro standard.
This is also true for the standard AW70 and WP70...
