constantly running connection?
I've noticed that my pages have been loading rather
slowly, and even when nothing is loading, there is still a
data exchange going on when I would think that nothing
should be being transfered. If anyone has any idea how to
identify the reason for this and stop it, please let me
know. Tag: windows patch Tag: 47121

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: windows patch 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: windows patch 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

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.

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/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".

securing IE6 printing
Hi,
In IE6 when you click Page Setup there is a box labelled "Printer...". This

We're tryingto secure it so that while they can use existing print shares
they can't browse for more.
Does anyone know how to grey out that box so it's not accessable? We need to

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

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?

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,

Can someone out there please help me with a most vexing

The file is labeled "~". Also, I found in my list of

what is going on here, and what do I do with "htt per" if
indeed it is bad. Unfortunately, being the computer
