If you were Registered and logged in, you could reply and use other advanced thread options
require relaxed security. Reversible passwords required for early Services
for Macintosh and LM hashes used in early versions of Samba are the
examples.
Typical integration points:
* File and print services - Samba on MacOS - NTLMv2 and Kerberos are
supported although Kerberos config is PITA
* Web services - NTLMv2 is now supported in Firefox, not sure about Safari.
SSL is there to help.
* Mail system: MS Entourage is a native Exchange client, Evolution for MacOS
X also supports Excvhange; OWA is always an option. Those using Notes can
run the client on Windows in VirtualPC.
* PKI - limited capability, virtually no smart card support
Which makes Mac a reasonably secure client. Proper configuration and
assessment required.
