- Your teacher did not place the BACKOUT.TTS file on the server, but NetWare
- did because of the Transaction Tracking System (TTS) that is enabled on the
- file server.
-
- As far as a "backdoor", there is no such thing that can be setup during
- installation. You can create other SUPERVISOR equivalent accounts, but this
- is not a backdoor.
