I don't see how the name of your workgroup could cause possible insecurity. I might as well use DuffNET, it'd be the same as the SSID/label of my wireless router, for the sake of simplicity.
Other then someone could guess it and try and join it, but that's not much "insecurity" it seems. And I left mine "WORKGROUP" so I should really be talking!!
Q: Right, because someone's going to hax0r your boxen because they know your workgroup. LOL
Babb: Not true. Do you not undersetand how TCP/IP works? Whether it's local or not makes no difference ... you can still connect to other people's computers over the Internet if they've got the appropriate ports coming through.
Go run a port scan for 139 on any random IP range. Chances are you'll find a few 2K systems with no passwords on the Administrator account.
In that case, all you do is \\IP\c$, and you get full read/write access to their C: drive. :P
and anyone with any sense is at least going to set a password
wowzers... tomchu can make anyone unsure about security... :razz:
anyways my workgroup is HYPNOS
my domain is HYPNOS

I realize that it's a very small matter.
