Purpose

Trojan Horse modules. If you don't use SECURE CONSOLE, a
module can be loaded from a DOS partition, a diskette drive, or any
directory on a NetWare
If you allow modules to be loaded from all these drives, anyone who
has access to the server console can load a loadable module. An
intruder could create a module to access or alter any information on
the server, or to change user account information at the server
security level.
Date and Time Modifications. Some security and accounting
features (such as password expiration, time restrictions, intruder
detection, and lockout intervals) depend on date and time for their
enforcement.
If you don't use SECURE CONSOLE, an intruder can change the
date and time at the server and bypass these time-dependent features.
To disable SECURE CONSOLE, use DOWN to bring down the server in
an orderly way, and then reboot the server.
