Spot on correct and since modifications to the OS/2 operating system for
all general purposes cannot be made at all without a complete re-boot with
the exact right permission from the real administrator which is *NOT*
somebody not only away from the 'home' operation but also cannot be run by
a 'nasty in the middle' that users can never see..

   Is one of the reasons that the OS/2 system, when run as intended and
   properly installed is really a huge amount safer than almost any
   other operating system!

          So long as you don't allow the Netbios Over TCP IP driver
          to be installed and used on your nice OS/2 doggie pen.
