- Tips when using Network Security Guard
-
- 1) Use the scheduling option for large checks.
-
- 2) Avoid checking for file information unless necessary since it is the most time
- consuming option.
-
- 3) Customize the violations you would like to search for in the “Action:
- Violations to Search for..." window.
-
- 4) In the File Sharing and Guest reports data can be exported into a word
- processor using copy/paste . From there, the tab delimiters can be
- cleaned up and imported directly into a database.
-
- 5) Yes, Network Security Guard works over AppleTalk Remote Access!
-
- 6) To send a report via e-mail to multiple people, simply add their addresses
- in the "To" field of the "Configure:Output" window and separate each
- address with a comma.
-
- 7) Use NSG in conjuntion with the public domain utility Mount Alias to
- automatically create aliases to all guest accessible servers on your network.
- (This is cool!)
-
- 8) Customize the list of files to search for in the “Violations to Search For...”
- window to include applications specific to your own site.
-
- 9) Search for specific files on the network by erasing all entries in the
- "Violations to Search For..." window and entering your own.
-
- 10) Be general in the "Violations to Search For..." window. e.g. Search for
- "MacSuperDraw" instead of "MacSuperDraw 4.0".
-
- 11) To cancel a search, hold down the command key and type the "." key.
-
- 12) Lengthy checks are best performed in multiple chunks rather than one large
- check.
-
- 13) Use the “Action: Update Zones” over ARA to update the AppleTalk zone list.
