Does any one know how to....
I want to password protect my computer to keep people from being able to log

makes you enter a password before the computer will finish starting up. I

Pix Firewall question
I have been having problems sending e-mail to a specific e-mail address.
When I send it to the address from my workstation, I get a NDR error (5.7.1).
However, I can send it from my personal e-mail account.
I understand that having certain ports on a Pix firewall closed can goof up
e-mail. What ports need to be open and how do I check to see if they are? Tag: Best adware remover Tag: 81244

norton stopping internet connection
I was using norton antivirus , when it expired i replaced it with norton

Dialer.wsv
I have NAV installed on our machines at our office, and it just

to know is how it got on my machine in the first place.
Symantec info on the virus states that it might be installed by
malicious web sites.I typically use Firefox to browse (not that it
can't have issues), but I don't even remember browsing a site that
could possibly have had a virus. Especially around the times that it
was found.

How does runas with /netonly option work?
Hi,
How does runas with a /netonly option create a login session? As per my
understanding, a logon session is not created on the local machine when a
/netonly option is used. Hence, I understand that whenever the process
launched with /netonly option touches any network resource, a session is
made upon that resource with the credentials specified in the runas command.
What API/mechanism is used to create such a remote session? I know
CreateProcessAsLogonW with LOGON_NETCREDENTIALS_ONLY option manages this,
but my requirement is to do the similar thing without lauching another
process. I need this so that untrusted domain accounts can be used to run
tasks without requiring a logon and impersonation on my local machine.
Thanks in advance,

Internet and laptop users
If I have a bunch of laptop users that I want to get internet access outside
the office while on the road I need to secure there laptops. I can do this by
way of hardware profiles and locking down various other things, but I also
only want them to be able to view certain websites outside the office. I can
lock down which websites they can view with content advisor built into IE.
But from what I can see when they come into the occice and use there in
office hardware profile the content advisor will also block them then. Is
there away I can make this work, when they are out of the office using mobile
intrernet link I can lock down which websites they view, when they are
internal they have the ability to surf what I have set in the ISA proxy.
Does anyone have any documents on best practises for locking these types of
users down?
Any help is appreciated.

registering an application or otherwise notifying antivirus s/w ?
Hello,
I am working on a program in which the front end and back end
talk to each other through a socket, so that triggers Norton AV on
a lot of people's systems. Sure, the user can click through the
warning but some people make the wrong choice and then they
have trouble undoing it. It would be better overall if we can avoid
notifying users in the first place.
Is there any way to register the application with Norton and/or any
other popular antivirus s/w makers? I'm hoping it can be arranged
so that the application is recognized as OK (thus obviating the
need to ask the user).
It seems like antivirus s/w must come with some sort of built-in list,
otherwise you would get warnings popping up all over the place ...
Maybe this registry business is just wishful thinking on my part.
If so, please feel free to tell me.
Thanks for any information on this topic.

Win2003 SERVER file security BUG!
Hi,
I have win2003 server installed and i am sharing some folders.
let me explain my problem with an example.
i have a toplevel map named data, under data i have a map company and this
is on a server named server-test.
my toplevel map data is shared and my subfolder company is also shared so i
can see them both when i am searching the directory structure of that server.
both maps are shared for everyone with full control, change and read
(shared, not the security settings!) so that everyone can see the maps.
now, for the folder company, i have inheritable permissions ON.
so, this means that if i set security permissions on DATA, the security
permissions for COMPANY are also changed and yes, they are!
When i look to the security settings of data and company, i see in company
my username with the security settings grayed-out, so this means that the
thing did it's job and inheritable permissions were passed trough to the
underlying map.
The security permissions is DENY on EVERYTHING, applied to this folders,
underlying folders and files.
now, when i go to server-test, i see 2 folders named data and company.
when i click on data, i don't come in but when i click on company, i get in
and i can see all files!
The only workaround seems that i FIRST deny everything on the underlying map
and then deny again on the top level map.
The only problem then is that in the underlying map that is using the
inheritable permissions i have both security settings in it.
both on 1 name but if you check another box, you can see that the denied box
is turning grayed-out.
This seems very unlogical and unsafe!
does anyone has a solution or am i doing somethig wrong ?
regards,

spyware tcp connections from spoolsv.exe to internet!!!
The past few days all running programs are trying to connect to the
internet at random addreses.
(mainly a1981.g.akamai.com and ports 80:http and 53:dns)
(even spoolsv.exe)
I have tried to search (advanced search) for spywares-rootkits-etc but
i did not found any.
Was running norton corporate client and had zonealarm freeware at the
time it started.
(captured it by seeing that spoolsv.exe tried to connect to the
internet)
replaced norton with avast free antivirus and zonealarm with kerio.
the strange behaviour seemed to be more rare but did not got way yet.
the behaviour is changing from time to time!
Currently my work partner also has the same problem, but the spyware
running on his machine mostly tries to connect to the sites listed on
HOSTS file (we have putted a dummy site there and it tries to connect
to that dummy)
Like i had with spoolsv.exe he had also with userinit and lsass trying
to connect to an akamai address
lets say i connect to a site then close the internet explorer and then
i try to go to a dif site the spyware through internet explorer tries
to connect to the previous site (noone asked him too!!!)
the firewall sees the connections are made from a legit program so they
can not be blocked!
I have looked at the list loaded by the legit apps and no new dlls are
loaded.
1)Is there a good reason for this to be happening???? (i mean
spoolsv.exe should not connect to the internet!)
2)Can you recomment a way to find - clean this spyware-or what ever it
is? Tag: Best adware remover Tag: 81150

Getting XML to display properly
My office is having to produce XML files (presidential directive to share
data). We are using Apache 2 to serve up the raw XML pages (on a classified
network), the client browser is having to compile the XSL files. We have
various mandated XSL stylesheets making numerous modifications. We didnâ??t
see any problem and have has several customers around the world able to see
the pages without a problem. We canâ??t get some important data to a customer
(we wrote several reports in XML, posted them and nothing but the combined,
raw XSL data). The rest of our community can see the exact same pages
without a problem (tested various XML files at various locations with various
network configurations). This group has a Windows 2003 domain, security is
normally VERY tight in their area so I expect their domain, security rules
are very tight as well. This customer is using Windows XP Pro on client
systems and Windows 2003 for domain controllers. Other WinXP systems on
Windows 2003 domains have no problem. Our Win2K systems running on Server
2003 are not having any problem.
I really need to help get these folks to view our reports properly. Do you
know of a domain security issue that might be impacting this?

Proxy server vs. DNS Forwarders
If websurfing behind a proxy server affords a degree of Internet anonymity
because the proxy goes out on behalf of the client and returns Inet resources
to the client (and cahces them), is the same degree of anonymity provided by
simply having a DNS server use forwarders to resolve all resources external
to your inet domain(s)?

Internal Server Security
Hi all hope I'm in the right group. Our company is working with an outside
firm to provide web hosting for us that requires real time data from an
internal server. Their software sits on any machine and listens to to a
predetermined port that we have forwarded [from the firewall]. We have
conteplated setting this port forwarding directly to our internal server.
We have also contemplated setting up another machine with their software and
then mapping a drive to our internal server for the data their software
needs. Given the fact that the secondary machine would have a drive mapped
to our internal server is it any more secure than just forwarding the
traffice to the server. Any clarification would be appreciated.
