A computer running both Windows NT Server and Novell's NDS for Windows NT
cannot be configured to restrict anonymous connections.
CAUSE
Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 3 and a hotfix for Windows NT 3.51 provide a
mechanism for administrators to restrict the ability for anonymous logon
users from obtaining system information. These are also known as NULL
session connections. During the installation of Novell NDS, SamSrv.dll is
replaced and support for this feature is not included.
STATUS
Novell NDS for Windows NT currently does not include support for
restricting anonymous connections
