MS SQL Server v6.0 removes the need to have the SA password in the
registry. SQL monitor disappears. The new set of functions is provided
by the SQL executive.  It is an NT service & doesn't require special reg keys.
Also if you choose to install the new "Multiprotocol" NetLib it is
possible to encrypt all usernames, passwords & data between the client
& the server.

Kind of a pretty good argument for the SA "owning" the NT server, i.e.
being the only administrator, isn't it?  The registry is only available
to members of the administrator group.

It's not a good idea to use an NT Server which is supporting SQL Server
service for much of anything else, anyway.  In most MIS applications with
more than one user, there is no such thing as "enough" resources for a
SQL Server.  The more the merrier.

Hang in there.  You're going to have ALL kinds of fun!
