In addition to installing NCP packet signature, you can use other NetWare security features and protective measures to keep client workstations secure.

We suggest the following security guidelines for client workstations:

•Use only the most current versions of system software, NetWare Client software, and patches.

•Check for viruses regularly.

•Use the SECURITY utility to detect vulnerable access points to the server.

•Enable intruder detection and lockout.

•Advise users to log out when their client workstations are unattended.

•Enable NCP packet signature level 3 on all unattended client workstations.

•Require passwords of at least five characters on all accounts.

•Force password changes at least every three months.

•Require unique passwords.

•Limit the number of grace logins.

•Limit the number of concurrent connections.

•Enforce login time restrictions and station restrictions.
