From: dwr3ck at hushmail.com (dwr3ck@...hmail.com) Subject: Disabling Cached Logon Credentials Disabling cached logon credentials is on virtually every server hardening checklist. If you have your servers physically secured in a data center what is the real benefit of disabling cached logon credentials? Whenever a server is off the network, admins have to obtain the local admin password. Depending on how you handle local RID=500 account passwords this can add significantly to downtime when resolving issues. Does anyone know of a way to exploit cached credentials over the wire? If someone has physical access to a system they own it anyway: http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/ Concerned about your privacy?
