Match corporate password standards
Make sure that PCNFS passwords conform to corporate standards, such
as using uppercase and special characters, and words that do not
appear in the dictionary.
Do not use PCNFS authentication to authenticate users on
hosts containing sensitive information
The PCNFS protocol uses a very weak form of encryption to protect
passwords, and so it is likely that anyone who can intercept the
encrypted password on the network can recover the plain-text
password. For this reason, you should not use PCNFS authentication
to control access to hosts that contain critical or confidential
data.
