Topic: Security Issue?

[imcintyre]

I have a server at work running 6.01-01 and one at home running v7. I have a problem that I believe is common to both and I would like to know if there is a feature that I am ignorant of, or is this a security issue.

Out of necessity I get to use alot of other people's computers and sometimes I need to get something from the server. When I log on I don't know how to log off without rebooting the other persons machine. I already have the admin profile and my personal profile but even my personal profile gets into some places I don't want machine operators etc to get to. I would prefer not to have another profile. I would also prefer not to reboot. My IT guy said not to log on at other machines (some help :-p).

We run a lot of XP pro, some W2000 and even a couple of 98 machines. I would prefer something that is related to the server rather than trying to reconfigure all work and home machines.

Any advice appreciated, thx in advance for help.

Moving this topic to the SME Server 7.x forum, it is more appropriate there. Thanks!

How do I find security at contribs.org?

Use your imagination to convert that expression into an email address, and then use your email program. The address isn't presented in a way that you recognise to reduce the amount of spam reaching the address. This is a common precaution on websites.

I did think of that but I thought that it would be stupid to use all those extra keystrokes. So I asked.

Since I have now been told, I won't have to use my imagination to decipher the commonly known method to disguise something such that only those in the know know except that everybody knows. I've always wanted to be in a secret society. lmao

In all sincerity, I appreciate the help.
