============================ Description ============================
These files fix the security issue running RconJ in secure mode where
you can gain access to the server without a password. This is only a
problem on NetWare 6 servers after applying SP2.
============================== Impact ===============================
Remote access to a NetWare 6 server on which Service Pack 2 has been
applied running RCONAG6 may be granted without checking the console
password of the target server if the RconJ "Secure IP" (SSL) option
is used to establish the connection.
======================== Recommended Actions ========================
Note: The patch file is currently available as a BETA patch, which
means a user registration (no fee) is required to download the file.
