first paragraph

The first paragraph mentions "the logon script." For years I have thought that Win95 ought to be coercable into executing a script whenever
a user logs on (and preferably also, when they log off). So these mentions
in the book of "the logon script" sounded very interesting to me. However,
as far as I can see, nowhere does the book specify where such a logon script
exists, nor under what name.

I'd *really* like to use this: so where does it go???

The example script in the centre of the page

The registry key 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINENetworkLogin' is incorrect on the second line.
It should read 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINENetworkLogon'. (Log*o*n instead of Log*i*n)

last sentence of the second paragraph

The last sentence of the second paragraph reads "See 'Other Vulnerabilities' earlier in this chapter for more information." However, I
see nothing in the text under that heading that has anything about the
"additional disconcerting security flaw" mentioned in the first sentence of
the paragraph.

Should the cross-reference instead be to p.109, which is under the section
entitled "Require Validation by Network for Windows Access"?

[Chapter8] ACTIONLISTON/OFF example;
"
ACTIONLISTOFF (or ACTIONLISTON)
KEYWORD value
VALUENAME "value" VALUE value
END ACTIONLISTOFF (or END ACTIONLISTON)
"
(from http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9781565926493/chapter/ch08.html)

KEYWORD is not a valid command, the line should probably be
KEYNAME "value"
