   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.
