Greetings,

 Please forgive what may be a foolish question from a NT security novice.

  The blurbs state that service pack 3 for nt 4.0 makes several security
enhancements.  Reading the specifics it seems to me (a person of little
experience with nt security) that the dictionary method will no longer
be possible.

I am misunderstanding?

Thanks
  Dan Thompson
