Sitelock AppNote
In order to improve the overall usability of Sitelock and to
help the LAN Manager control server access, an additional
utility is now available for use with SiteLock.
How it works:
As part of the File Server's system login script you rin the
program CHKSW. CHKSW will check for the existence of
Sitelock's Swatcher program at login time. If the user
doesn't have the Swatcher program loaded, CHKSW will return
and error code. The login script can be programmed to take
appropriate action such as immediately logging the user off
the server. A sample batch file is shown below:
echo off
CHKSW
if errorlevel = 1 goto bad
echo SWatcher loaded, all is fine!
goto out
:bad
echo Swatcher is NOT loaded!
:out
To ensure security in a multi-server environment, you must
have CHKSW run on every server even if Sitelock is not
running on that particular server. Because login scripts do
not run when you "attach" to a server, a user could log into
a server without CHKSW and then attach to a server that does
have it. The important point here is to make sure that no
matter what server the user comes in on, you check for the
Sitelock Swatcher program.
HOW TO GET IT:
The CHKSW utility can be obtained three ways. If you have a
Compuserve ID, you will find the file in the Netwire Section
(GO NOVA). It will be in Library 17 as a new upload
(CHECKSL.ZIP) and then end up in Library 12. You can also
call the Brightwork Bulletin Board and download the file
CHECKSL.ZIP. If you don't have access to a modem, call us
and we will send it to you at no charge.
We hope that this utility will help you better control and
manage your network. Should you have any questions,
comments, or suggestions, we would love to hear from you.
As always, thanks for purchasing Brightwork Products.
