Novell is famous for their "security by obscurity"... I wouldn't plan on finding out any details for a while.

This is in response to a bugtraq post about a new Groupwise patch at http://support.novell.com/padlock 

My reply was not accepted by the moderator there, so I will try here.

Actually a lot more people than you would think "still running" groupwise... :)

On a more serious note, there is nothing in that update, which I also received, that indicates the type of problem 
fixed. It just says, load this patch now on your production servers... I have emailed our Novell contacts and got the 
standard "We don't know either, but if you want to be secure apply the patch" answer. There is also noone in the know 
on the Novell Forums Groupwise newsgroup. Does anyone have any additional information regarding this patch.
