Abstract
A network management system can detect a security hole on the network and take necessary measures against such a security hole. When the security hole is detected on the network, the security hole is displayed on a drawing of the network configuration. Further, the network management system displays the status of connection from the outside network, the contents of accesses to the computer and the network device, the status of access to the network environment maintenance file, and the status of login procedures executed with the privileged user.
