    - Stopping folder owners from changing permissions In an existing folder a user with modify access can create a folder. That user becomes the owner of the new folder, which inturn means that they are granted full control of that folder. This means that a user has the ability to change permissions for the folder, which is not ideal because the user can then remove the Administrators access to the folder, stopping it from being backed up to tape due to the Administrator not having the permission to access the file. I know that the Admin can take back ownership but I would prefer that this situation didnâ??t happen in the first place. Also we are trying to move toward using permission groups and by allowing the user to change permissions they are able to go around this and add individuals. Is there any ways to stop the creator of a folder from gaining the ability to change permissions? I tried denying this special permission but it didnâ??t seem to work, maybe I wasnâ??t doing it right. Has anyone got any ideas on this? Thankyou Tag: If I have two or more firewalls..... Tag: 53276

    - Removing "Messenger popup" ads Does anyone have advice as to get rid of annoying "Messenger popup" ads that frustratingly appear at random?? I already have anti-popup software which blocks "standard" popups but not the "Messenger" ones which appear even if u are not online. I have Steganos firewall installed; plus regularly run Ad-Aware to disinfect my system, registry etc. too. I am running Windows XP, and have already done the Administrative Services/Services/Messenger - then "Disabled" route. Still no joy. Would blocking any spare ports on my PC, would that solve the problem?? Help anyone!! Tag: If I have two or more firewalls..... Tag: 53262

    - Pop ups and "Parasites" Hello I have recently had messages stating that there is a Parasite on my system and that "this company" (I cant remember the name of this) can remove it for X amount of Dollars, I havent heard of this company before so am a little wary. Since this however, I have noticed that I have about treble the amount of Pop-ups I used to and every time I open a new web page another internet explorer window open and says on the task bar ~Close then disappears. This has obviouslly effected the speed of my connection. I have Norton Virus checker and reguarlly update virus definitions and do full system scans I have even tried deleting all off line temp files and cookies and looked for "strange" new files or directory created in the last month to no avail?? Can any one help or point me in the right direction? Any help appreciated. Regards George Tag: If I have two or more firewalls..... Tag: 53255

    - Weird Entries in System and Security Logs, With Sygate PF Failures Hi everyone I've been having troubles recently (the past 2 weeks or so) with Sygate personal firewall crashing unexpectedly, and no error message is given. At first I thought it was a software conflict of some kind. But now I'm thinking that there is a exploit out there that will bring down Sygate. I am finding that SPF is crashing only when this bad inbound traffic is occuring. Many times it blocks incoming stuff, but fairly often my firewall will die without warning. These bad packets are hitting me on a variety of ports, but 5000 seems to be the most commonly used. 0, 80, and 113 are also used fairly often. The remote ports from which the connection attepts originate are high-numbered I have seen .dll requesters pop up, asking for permission, and within seconds of their appearance, they disappear again, and the Sygate program is no longer running. The icon for SPF remains in the lower right, but it goes away if I move the mouse pointer over it. Yesterday this happened twice in a row, in rapid succession. (The request was something about a remote initiated connection attempt to load .dll files relating to Windows help) Here is some info from my event log. Most of this I don't really understand, but perhaps it has something to do with SPF crashing all the time. Maybe there isn't an exploit out there, but I have a misconfiguration on my machine In the System log, there is an entry from today saying the Service Control Manager is giving me an Error, and the Event ID is 7034. It says "The Sygate Personal FIrewall service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 2 time(s)." I've tried looking around a bit, but I haven't found anything that explains what Event ID 7034 is, and WHY Sygate is crashing. The Event Viewer for this System log entry says a file named netevent.dll is involved, version 5.1.2600. In my Security log, there are a few entries I also don't understand. These entries were created shortly after I logged on, before connecting to the net.

    - 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: If I have two or more firewalls..... 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.

    - 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.

PRIOR MEETINGS -------------- Unigroup would like to thank IBM, and our speaker Bill Sandve, for his presentation on "AIX / AIX5L Overview and Futures". 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.

Which one will work? the most effective one? If both of the two firewalls work and creat logs,whose logs will be trusted?

Are you talking about having two software firewalls installed on a
workstation? This isn't recommended - can you provide more info about your
setup?

Most likely of course.

Okay, two personal firewalls on one system? Two paralell firewalls?
Two in series? And did you consciously decide to use two?

Depends on the Firewall and OS. If you run something like Zone Alarm and the
Windows Firewall, most likely the ZA log will have the most info as it could
block the attempt before Windows Firewall catches it, or Windows Firewall
might pick up things that ZA misses.
However running two software firewalls is not really a good idea as you
can have conflicts between them and then neither work well. If you want a
more secure system then run a software firewall on the PC and Install a
router that has a built in firewall.
