Yep, but it's not as simple as a third party product will likely be.

My main problem is it relies on Windows authentication - ie, the user accounts on the box. I dont like the idea of something being able to brute force Windows users accounts through an arbitrary service like FTP. Worse is that to work via FTP those accounts need 'Log on Locally' as a permission.

Bad medicine.
