    - securing ldap Hello, First, the scenario: 150 external sites (actaully shops) on ADSL (512k), collecting their email to an exchange FE server in the dmz, using IMAP. Now, what I want is some sort of centralised email address list for these stores. Was thinking about using ldap and pointing it at one of our GCs. Are there any secutiy issues I should be aware of...? Im sure there are in fact, anyone care to gimme a hand? For info, they're windows 98 (yay) running OE 5 (yay) Failing everything, should I just forget the imap / ldap route and just make them use OWA? Cheers, Barry Tag: Popup Tag: 47114

    - Automatic Updates Hi all, Don't know if this is the right place, but here it goes: 811493: Security Update (Windows 2000) keeps getting downloaded over and over again (on w2k pro and w2k server). If I install the update, it gets downloaded again. This happens on systems that connect to my local SUS server AND to systems that connect directly to the Update Servers from Microsoft. Has anyone seen this behaviour before, and better: does anyone know a fix for that??? Regards, Danee Tag: Popup Tag: 47109

    - fake emails from microsoft I keep getting (junk) emails from "fuelqkpb@newsletters.msn.com," regarding some "ms" security updates. I get a couple others with similar subjects - some referring to a network. Strangely, most of these are 144kb or 156 kb, so I recognize them quickly. I update antivirus software religiously, scan, and I've double checked for mydoom - all are okay. May I assume these emails are bogus? Some have an exe file attached - I suppose this is trouble?

    - To clarify the link for CWShredder Update This morning I saw that a certain Svyatoslav Pidgorny, MVP, MCSE slammed me for <quote/> "Distributing viruses, huh?" <end/quote> in response to my post Subject: New CWShredder update available which was dated Wednesday, February 25, 2004 2:34 AM (MST) news:eD#UZK4#DHA.2512@TK2MSFTNGP11.phx.gbl I have not in anyway offered a link that contains a virus, or am in any way distributing a virus! I demand a retraction and an apology from that person. Now, you may follow through in a logical and orderly manner through these links to see that the link I offered is Bona Fide and genuine, if you care to do so. Windows Support Center James A. Eshelman, Proprietor & Webmaster http://www.aumha.org/ http://www.aumha.org/support.htm http://www.aumha.org/a/noads.htm No www. is required for the link I initially offered for CWShredder at the bottom of this page. http://aumha.org/a/parasite.php http://www.aumha.org/a/parasite.htm This website is about getting help solving computer problems and getting support for Microsoft products using the Microsoft Communities, or the NNTP equivalent, newsgroups. http://www.dts-l.org/ http://www.dts-l.org/gallery.htm Jim Eshelmans original link : http://free.freespeech.org/Khephra/ now redirects to: http://www.aumha.org/ So we have come full circle. I hope this will clarify matters as it appears that some of you may have been put off by the name of the URL that was offered. If you're not satisfied with this, I'm sorry, but it's the best I could do to allay your concerns. If this has done nothing to assuage your worries, *don't* install the update then. Suit yourselves and you be the judge. Again, I expect a full and complete apology from this person Svyatoslav Pidgorny, who has wrongfully accused me of "distributing viruses". -- LuckyStrike LS@smokedamagedfurniture.youcandriveitawaytoday.com -------------------------------------------------------------------- Tag: Popup Tag: 47040

    - Security Suggestions?? I have a client with a software package and many Access DB's developed around the package to support additional functionality. Currently the only security is the SQL logoin ID for all databases. The client needs to tighten this down, but doesn't want to invest the time to put security in all the additional supporting db's. Is there any packages or such that will provide a level security greater than they have now and provide user level security to each database? Thanks in advance. Tag: Popup Tag: 47029

    - Frontpage publishing security problem Hey all, I have a problem....I have a website that I am hosting myself on my own web server at home. I have been updating it through VNC and sometimes through my FTP site. This took quite a while, so I figured, why not use the Publish Web option in FrontPage? My problem is: it didnt ask for a single password or anything. I have published various other sites through my work with FrontPage, and everytime it would prompt for a password. This is a serious problem because anyone can publish to my site! I just had someone else try it on their computer, and they successfully published. I checked my local securities and there arent any obvious problems screaming "ANYONE CAN PUBLISH!" at me. For all of the C drive, I have only the local admins, and the groups: NETWORK, SERVICE, and SYSTEM set up with permissions. The site is hosted through IIS 5.0. Are there known security problems with that? Or is it a local permissions problem? Please help! Thanks, JasonG Tag: Popup Tag: 46977

My questions are: how do I rid myself of "~", what is going on here, and what do I do with "htt per" if indeed it is bad. Unfortunately, being the computer unsophisticate that I am, I clicked "remove" when I found "htt per" rather than uninstall, so I think it is still lurking somewhere in there.

I'd say if it was a popup telling you that it was scare tactics of a
spammer to make you buy thier crappy product. I suspect it was done
