[plug] [OT] Security problems with NTFS

[William Kenworthy]

A couple of years back I was talking to a guy who had the idea of using
this for the temporary storage of files on a server after we were
refused access when needing some urgent temp space.  As the admin at the
time was "a bit of a problem", talk moved to storing 20 odd gig of data
in a stream on his 30 gig drive to create a bit of "fun" as this was
even less known about then.  Didn't happen, but the guy was sorely
tempted ...
