NT 4.0 has never passed ANY security evaluation. NT 3.51 passed a UK one in October 1996, NT 3.5 passed C2 in 1995. Both these earlier versions are effectively unusable due to diverse and numerous bugs unrelated to security, and both the evaulations were without a network card.
Surprisingly enough NT4.0 has not received the C2 rating, although I could have sworn I have seen remarks about Nt4.0 and C2 certification on a Microsoft page. According to WIRED, NT 4.0 is undergoing testing, and will supposedly be certified in Oct. Apparently the gov't isn't too happy with the way MS is bluring the edges of C2 certification of their products [Which they are buying]. http://www.wired.com/news/news/technology/story/12121.html -Jim
