    - SecTemps and Special Permissions I'm working with a security template that assigns new permissions to files and folders on my XP Pro system. On most of the folders the Administrators group is given Full Control via Special Permissions (the Advanced button on the Security tab), but the general permissions are left blank. When I try to access any of those folders (after applying the template) as an Administrator, I'm denied. Why is this happening? What is the difference between Special and regular permissions? Why won't special permissions work without regular permissions? I can correct this by adding in Full control for Administrators under the general permission settings in the template, but I'm curious as to why this is the way it is. I guess it's time to start writing a script to change 'em in the sectemp. -James Tag: HELP Tag: 53238

    - allowing READ only, no printing, no saving to desktop and no ability to attach On our Network we have many "shared" folders. These are usually word doc's, excel, sometimes PDF files. The problem is even if I give a user READ only access they still have the ability to copy the file to thier desktop, print it or burn it to a CD orcopy floppy OR even browse to it on the network and attach it in an email. How do I create a TRUE "READ ONLY" access where 98% of the users can actually ONLY READ the documents and do not have ANY ability to copy it print it save it anywhere and certainly not browse to it on the Network and attach it in an email and send it out of the company.

    - Disabling Local Security Policy Hi folks; I've been reading up on Local Security Policy. However, in a blight of pure genuis, I've locked myself out of being able to add printers and device drivers, as well as disabling the ability for me to change the time. The latter I can deal with, however, for some odd reason, I can't add device drivers or local printers. I'm logged in as an administrator, however, that still doesn't help. When I look in the Local Security Policy area, they've got no user names in the area that shows who or what is allowed to Load/Unload Device Drivers, and who is allowed to change the system time. I've heard that you can add a registry key to disable the Local Security Policy on a Temp. basis, however, I've not been able to find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    - Can't uninstall MS Office Standard The problem began a couple of days ago when (1) the system response time slowed considerably (2) my IE home page defaulted to the ISearch web site and (3) pop-up ads started appearing. I hadn't seen a pop-up for quite some time after installing the Google tool bar. I noticed that there was a new tool bar called ISearch but, when I went to the tool bar tab to get rid of it, all the selections were grey and I couldn't toggle any of them on or off. So I searched for, and found, all files containing "ISearch", then deleted them. When I re-booted, Windows locked up on me. I tried re- installing and, after several unsuccessful attempts, I finally succeeded. However, MS Office can not be accessed. When I went to Control Panel to delete my MS Office Standard, the system locked up. I was able to cancel the application, but my MS Office does not work. Is there some way to delete MS Office Standard without losing my Outlook e-mails, calendar, contacts or tasks? Tag: HELP Tag: 53159

    - Good intentions but ultimately ineffective? Calif. Bill Requires 'Spyware' Notice May 18, 10:16 PM (ET) SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Consumers would have to be told before information-reporting "spyware" was added to their computers if legislation approved Tuesday by the California Senate becomes law. The measure by Sen. Kevin Murray, a Democrat, was sent to the Assembly by a 36-2 vote. Murray said consumers can unknowingly add the spyware to their computer systems when they buy software. "These programs track what Web sites you visit, may steal your passwords, access your financial information, log your keystrokes, bombard you with pop-ups, track your purchases and remotely report your activity and personal information to a third party," Murray said. Republican Sen. Jim Battin said the spyware problem needed to be addressed on a national level, but action by California lawmakers would be a "good start." ___________________________________________________________ Good intentions but ultimately ineffective, right? How does this put an end to the really bad malware out there, like hijack browsers, keyloggers, etc.? A good start indeed, but I compare this to only putting a Band-Aid on a severe bullet wound.

Our speaker for this month's Kerberos meeting (and the planned OpenAFS meeting) will be Jeff Altman. Unigroup members will remember that Jeff is a past Unigroup speaker (of Kermit95 and Telnet Security Working Group fame). Jeff has been working with a series of well known security related projects for many years. Unigroup has the following meetings planned over the next few months: - Solaris 10 Launch Event - Field Trip to Sun Microsystems - OpenAFS - Jeff Altman (followup presentation) - Zope / Web Development - Zope Corporation ................................................................. MIT Kerberos Version 5 is the basis for the Kerberos distributed with Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, Red Hat Linux, Debian, MacOS X, OpenVMS, and just about every other Kerberos distribution other than the Heimdal distribution and the implementation built into Microsoft Windows 2000 and subsequent releases. MIT is directly responsible for three Kerberos products: - MIT Kerberos 5 for Unix/Linux - MIT Kerberos for Macintosh which is bundled with MacOS X - MIT Kerberos for Windows The current releases of MIT Kerberos 5 for Unix/Linux (1.3.3) and KfW (2.6.1) are available from the MIT Kerberos web site: http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/ The MIT Kerberos 5 release 1.3.3 release fixes bugs and adds one major feature: - Support for AES in GSSAPI has been implemented. This corresponds to the in-progress work in the IETF (CFX). MIT Kerberos for Windows 2.6 release includes krb5 release 1.3.3 and provides enhanced integration with the Microsoft Windows Kerberos implementation as well as OpenAFS for Windows. In addition to developing the leading open source implementation of Kerberos, the MIT Kerberos Development Group contributes more than half of the document authors within the IETF Kerberos Working Group. MIT's participation has been crucial to ensuring that all of the major implementations of Kerberos (including Microsoft's) adhere to the published standards to facilitate interoperability. This talk will provide an introduction to the Kerberos 5 authentication protocol; a detailed overview of the MIT Kerberos implementation; a discussion of interoperability concerns which developers and administrators face when implementing and deploying a multi-platform Kerberos infrastructure; and some demonstrations utilizing the GSS on Linux, Windows, and Java. Note: If your organization would be interested in providing a grant to further Kerberos development at MIT. Please contact Marshall Vale, Team Leader, of The MIT Kerberos Team, at <krbcore@mit.edu>. ------------------------------------------------------------------- SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: --------------------- While RSVPs will _NOT_ be required for this location, please RSVP if you know you are attending, or if there is a high probability that you will be attending.

Bill flew in from Texas for this meeting and presented a broad history of AIX, past, present and future. Unigroup members were briefed on various IBM proprietary initiatives with AIX, which are not generally known to the public. We also learned about specific areas where IBM is focusing future AIX development, and various features in AIX which will support the next generation of IBM Unix/Linux systems. We also discussed the ways in which multiple instances of AIX and Linux can co-exist together on a single hardware system. We would also like to thank Dan Dantzic of the IBM Linux Center of Competence, for hosting our Field trip to IBM, and Jim Gleason of the IBM Linux Cluster Group (and NYLUG), for finding us this Field Trip meeting location at IBM. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- 4.

    - Norton AntiVirus Rescue Disk Won't Scan Error 35 General protection fault in NAVDX.OVL When running NAVDX.EXE, it quits the scan and gives the above error message whether it's run from my booted DOS Rescue disk or from the Norton AntiVirus folder on drive C in a DOS Prompt window. However, when run from Windows by right clicking a folder in the Windows Explorer tree and selecting the option to "Scan with Norton AntiVirus" or simply running a scan from the AntiVirus user interface, it runs ok and does the scan without producing an Error 35 message. But, don't they use the same Norton AntiVirus folder NAVDX files as used when running from a DOS Prompt window? If so, why the different results? I'm running Norton SystemWorks 2003 in Windows'ME and have been doing Live Updates, testing my Rescue disk, and running system scans weekly now for many months without a problem until this past week-end.

It says I must disable my firewall, so I go to Network Connection, and look and the tab that should be unclicked, is unclicked, but during setup I'm still getting the message saying I must disable the firewall.

    - Internet security To ensure privacy on the PC, at home, I can, if I so choose, add passwords and encryption but, if there is someone with me, he can see what I see, as there are no magic spectacles to reveal the contents only to me once the door is opened. So, it seems that such devices are of no use when working in protected areas whilst on the net, since the hacker who circumvents my firewall presumably also can see what I see. Is the only security a firewall and a dynamic IP with plenty of logging off to change it? One other security question. I recently read of a registry hack to prevent Windows storing passwords but, assuming it works, how can a password be recognised unless it is stored and, since there must be a record somewhere in the system, doesn't the expert hacker have the knowledge and tools to find it?

Can you tell us what your spyware remover identifies this as? Or at least, please tell us what search page do you get redirected to?

I'm curious as to what spyware scanner you have purchased; the two scanners that are generally considered the best of the class are "spybot search & destroy" and "AdAware", and these are both available free for home use.
