How to Order: (http://security-tracker.com/order/)

1. Installing apachetop

To install apachetop in CentOS, Fedora:

# yum install apachetop

Make sure you have DAG repository enabled.

To install apachetop in Debian, Ubuntu:

# sudo apt-get install apachetop

To install apachetop in FreeBSD:

# cd /usr/ports/sysutils/apachetop/
# make install clean

2. Using apachetop

apachetop essentially just watches the log files and constantly computes the stats. It can be set to show stats for the last set amount of time, or for the last set number of hosts.
It defaults to monitoring the defaults apache log file, but if you have virtual hosts, you will need to tell it to watch these also with the -f flag.

# apachetop -f /var/log/httpd/site1-access_log -f /var/log/httpd/site2-access_log

If your web server gets a low number of hits you can use the -N flag so that it shows you more information instead of clearing hits after 30 seconds. The -N flag sets the number of hits apachetop remembers. You can also use -T to change the length of time it remembers the hits.

This command will show stats for hits in the last 5 minutes.

# apachetop -N 300 -f /var/log/httpd/access_log

This command will have apachetop remember the last 100 hits and show the statistics for them.

# apachetop -T 100 -f /var/log/httpd/access_log

Once in apachetop the program will begin displaying and calculating the stats as they come in, so at first it will be blank. To switch between showing what files are getting hit, what hosts are accessing the web server, and where they are coming from press "d".

For the help menu press "h".

Installing applications on a terminal server has to be done in a special way to ensure it is usable by all users of the terminal server.

There are two modes in terminal server, Execute and Install. By default all users are logged on in Execute mode and this means they can run programs etc.

When you want to install an Application for use by everyone the Administrator should change to Install mode.

The best way to install software is to use the Add/Remove programs control panel applet as this will automatically set the mode to Install during the installation and then back to Execute at the end. Alternatively you can manually change your mode to install by typing

C:\> change user /install

To change back to execute use

C:\> change user /execute

And to check you current mode use

C:\> change user /query

In this example we will use Add/Remove to install Access Control on a terminal server.

1. Start the Add/Remove programs control panel applet (Start - Settings - Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs)
2. Select the 'Install/Uninstall' tab and click 'Install'
3. You will be told to insert the setup media, click Next
4. The installation wizard will look for setup.exe on the CD or disk, it won't find it, select an alternate by clicking the 'Browse' button, and select the hslab-access-control-4-ts.exe file. Click Next
5. You will now be given the option to change your mode so all users can use the application. Select 'All users begin with common application settings.' and click Next
   
6. The install of the application will begin and you will notice your mode has been changed to Install if you typed 'change user /query'.
7. Proceed to install the application as normal
8. Once setup is complete click Next to the install dialog then Finish

Controlling Application Execution in Execute Mode

Several compatibility bits can be set for an application, registry path, or .ini file to change how a Terminal Server computer handles the merging of application initialization data when a session is in execute mode. These compatibility bits are set in the registry under the following subkey:

There are three separate keys for applications, .ini files, and registry entries under this registry path.

The default settings work for most applications, but they can be further tuned by using the following compatibility bits.

WARNING: These compatibility bits should only be changed if an application is not working properly.

The first set of compatibility bits indicates the version of the application that the settings are for. Not all combinations are useful (for example, an MS-DOS application does make registry calls). Because the path to the file is not specified and multiple applications may use the same file name (for example, Setup.exe and Install.exe are now regularly used for installation programs), specify the application type to help make sure that the compatibility settings do not affect other applications with the same file name.

To determine the String Value, add the values of the bits that you want to set. For example, to return the user name instead of the computer name for both 16-bit and 32-bit versions of Myapp.exe, create a subkey in the registry by performing the following steps.

Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

1. Start Registry Editor.
2. Locate the following registry subkey:
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Terminal Server\Compatibility\Applications\Myapp
3. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and type the following information:
   Value Name: Flags
   Type: REG_DWORD
4. In the Data box, type the hex value of 11C (add 0x00000004 for 16-bit Windows applications, add 0x00000008 for 32-bit Windows applications, add 0x00000010 to return the user name instead of the computer name, and add 0x00000100 to disable registry mapping).

Applications

The following compatibility bits affect the application when it is running. They are located in the following registry subkey (where Appname is the name of the application's executable file):

Compatibility Bits

• MS-DOS application: 0x00000001
• OS/2 application: 0x00000002
• Windows 16-bit application: 0x00000004
• Windows 32-bit application: 0x00000008
• Return user name instead of computer name: 0x00000010
• Return Terminal Server build number: 0x00000020
• Disable registry mapping for this application: 0x00000100
• Do not substitute user Windows directory: 0x00000400
• Limit the reported memory: 0x00000800

Use the "Return user name instead of computer name" bit for applications that use the computer name as a unique identifier. This returns the user's name to the application and gives a unique identifier to each user of the application.

Use the "Disable registry mapping for this application" bit to retain only one global copy of the registry variables that are used by the application.

If the "Do not substitute user Windows directory" bit is set, it retains the SystemRoot directory for GetWindowsDirectory API calls. If this bit is not set, all paths to the Windows directory are replaced with the path to the user's Windows directory.

.Ini Files

The following compatibility bits control .ini file propagation. They are located in the following registry subkey (where Inifile is the name of the .ini file):

Compatibility Bits

• Windows 16-bit application: 0x00000004
• Windows 32-bit application: 0x00000008
• Synchronize user .ini file to system version: 0x00000040
• Do not substitute user Windows directory: 0x00000080

If the "Synchronize user .ini file to system version" bit is set, it adds new entries from the system master .ini file when the application is started, but it does not delete any existing data in the user's .ini file. If this bit is not set, it overwrites the user's .ini file if it is older than the system master .ini file.

If the "Do not substitute user Windows directory" bit is set, it retains the SystemRoot directory for file paths in the .ini file when the system master version of the .ini file is copied to the user's Windows directory. If this bit is not set, it replaces all paths to the Windows directory with the path to the user's Windows directory.

Registry Paths

The following compatibility bits control registry propagation. They are located in the following registry subkey (where PathName is the registry path under the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software):

Compatibility Bits

• Windows 32-bit application: 0x00000008
• Disable registry mapping for application: 0x00000100

If the "Disable registry mapping for application" bit is set, new entries from the system master registry image are not added to the user's registry. Additionally, the system does not delete any existing data in the user's registry. If this bit is not set, the system deletes and overwrites the user's registry data if the data is older than the system master registry data. If the bit is not set, the system also adds any new keys not in the user's registry.

Riskware is a term used to describe legal programs (many of which have legitimate applications and which are freely available) which could be used for malicious purposes.

The Riskware class includes such programs as legitimate remote administration utilities, IRC client programs, dialer programs, downloader programs, any type of activity monitor, password utilities, and many internet services such as FTP, Web, Proxy and Telnet.

None of these programs are inherently malicious. However, their functionalities can be used with malicious intent.

One example is WinVNC. The manufacturer's official site describes this program in the following way:

VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is remote control software which allows you to view and interact with one computer (the "server") using a simple program (the "viewer") on another computer anywhere on the Internet. The two computers don't even have to be the same type, so for example you can use VNC to view an office Linux machine on your Windows PC at home. VNC is freely and publicly available and is in widespread active use by millions throughout industry, academia and privately.

The description makes it clear that this program is entirely legitimate, freely available, and used by system administrators and other IT professionals.

However, this program could be used with malicious intent. The Kaspersky Virus Lab has encountered cases where WinVNC was installed without the user's knowledge in order to gain total access to a remote machine.

Another example is the mIRC utility. This legitimate program is described in the following way on the product site:

mIRC is a shareware IRC client for Windows. It is developed and copyrighted by Khaled Mardam-Bey. mIRC is a highly configurable IRC client with all the goodies other clients on UNIX, Macintosh and even on windows offer, combined with a *nice* and clean user interface. mIRC offers full color text lines, DCC File Send and Get capabilities, programmable aliases, a remote commands and events handler, place sensitive popup menu's, a great Switchbar, World Wide Web and sound support, and... a lot more. mIRC is shareware but not crippled in any way...

mIRC's extended functionality can be used with malicious intent, and Kaspersky Lab virus analysts regularly encounter Trojan backdoors which utilize mIRC. Any IRC backdoor is capable of writing its own scripts to the mIRC configuration file without the knowledge or consent of the user. This enables the backdoor to deliver its malicious payload, and the user will be totally unaware that a Trojan is active on the system.

Additionally, malicious programs may install mIRC to the victim machine. mIRC functionality may then be used in the future with malicious intent. In such cases, mIRC will usually be located in the Windows directory or subdirectories. If mIRC is found in this location, it almost certainly means that while the program itself is not malicious, the computer itself has been infected by a malicious program.

Spyware is something of a grey area, so there's no copy-book definition for it. However, as the name suggests, it?s often loosely defined as software that is designed to gather data from a computer and forward it to a third party without the consent or knowledge of the computer's owner. This includes monitoring key strokes, collecting confidential information (passwords, credit card numbers, PIN numbers, etc.), harvesting e-mail addresses or tracking browsing habits. There?s a further by-product, of course: such activities inevitably affect network performance, slowing down the system and thereby affecting the whole business process.

The reason spyware is such a grey area is that it's really just a catch-all term for a wide assortment of malware-related programs, rather than a defined category. Most spyware definitions apply not only to adware, pornware and riskware programs, but also to many Trojan programs: Backdoor Trojans, Trojan Proxies and PSW Trojans. Such programs have been around for almost 10 years, when the first AOL password stealers appeared. However, they were not then called spyware.

Although such programs are not new, their use for malicious purposes has increased in recent years and they have received much greater attention, both from the media and from spyware-only vendors.

The ASC [Anti-Spyware Coalition] drafted a definition of spyware in August 2005. The ASC defines spyware and other potentially unwanted technologies as those that

• impair users' control over material changes that affect their user experience, privacy, or system security;
• use of their system resources, including what programs are installed on their computers;
• or collection, use, and distribution of their personal or otherwise sensitive information.

This definition, like others, spans the whole range of maware-related programs.

Yesterday you used MS Word, and Duke Nukem 3D. Today you boot your system to check e-mail. It sees parts of these two programs in the prefetch folder and loads them into memory before windows completes the boot process. The benefit is faster application launch times. If you really wanted to use MS Word, it would pop up really quick when you double clicked on it

If you've been using Windows for any length of time, you're very familiar with the terms virtual memory and paging file. In the past we all spent lots of time tweaking virtual memory settings in order to make the paging file as efficient as possible on our poor memory deprived systems.

Then, the price of RAM came down to a much more affordable range and instead of tweaking virtual memory, we could afford to improve system performance simply by adding more RAM. Although the operating system still makes use of virtual memory, having more RAM in the system reduces the operating system's dependence on virtual memory.

Nowadays, it isn't uncommon to have systems sporting 512MB or even 1GB of RAM. So chances are that you haven't thought about virtual memory as much as you used to.

However, that's about to change with Windows Vista, which sports a new memory performance enhancement system called SuperFetch and a new way to extend the virtual memory by way of External Memory Devices (EMD). In this edition of the Windows Vista Report, I'll take a more in-depth look at SuperFetch and EMD.

Virtual memory

Let's begin with a little refresher of virtual memory. To begin with, it's important to reiterate that Windows operating systems, Vista included, will always make use of virtual memory, even when the memory required by all running processes does not exceed the amount of RAM installed on the system. In fact, each and every process that's running on the system is automatically assigned a virtual memory address when it's loaded by the operating system.

When the memory in use by all the running processes exceeds the amount of RAM available, the operating system will begin moving pages of memory space in RAM out to virtual address spaces to the hard disk, thus freeing that RAM for other uses. These pages are then stored in a file called Pagefile.sys in the root of a partition.

When a running process that has been temporarily moved to virtual memory is needed, the operating system locates the virtual memory containing the process and returns it to RAM. As it does so, the operating system will have to move other pages of memory out of RAM to the page file in order to make room for the process that it just returned to RAM. This moving of memory pages is referred to as swapping and the paging file is often referred to as the swap file. This swapping requires a lot of overhead.

Prefetch

Windows Vista's SuperFetch builds on a technology introduced in Windows XP called Prefetch, so let's talk a little bit about it as well before we move on to SuperFetch and EMD. To begin with, prefetching is a process in which the operating system loads key pieces of data and code from disk into memory before it's actually needed. With this in mind, let's take a general look at how prefetching works.

In order for this prefetching operation to actually improve performance, the Windows XP Cache Manager monitors the data being moved between the disk and RAM and between RAM and virtual memory when the system is booting up as well as when various applications are loaded. As the Cache Manager monitors these occurrences, it constructs maps of the directories and all of the files that were referenced for each application or process. These maps are then saved to files with a .pf extension in the \Windows\Prefetch folder.

Once these map files have been created, the Cache Manager will use them to improve efficiency when the system boots up as well as when loading applications. More specifically, the Cache Manager will intercept every process or application that is about to be loaded and will check the \Windows\Prefetch folder to see if there is a corresponding map. If there is, the Cache Manager will call on the file system to immediately access the directory and files referenced in the map. The Cache Manager will then alert the Memory Manager and tell it to use the information in the map file to load data and code into memory. Once this prefetch operation is complete, the Cache Manager will allow the application or process to continue loading. As the application or process does so, it will find the majority of the files and data that it needs already available in memory, thus reducing the amount of disk access and allowing the application or process to load or respond faster.

In order to further improve the efficiency of this prefetching operation, Windows XP will regularly analyze the contents of the map files, compile a list of the directories and files, organize them in the order in which they are loaded, and save this information in a file called Layout.ini in the \Windows\Prefetch folder. It will then schedule disk defragmenter to run on a regular basis and use the information in the Layout.ini file to relocate all of the directories and files listed to a contiguous area of the disk.

SuperFetch

Now that you know how Windows XP's Prefetch technology works, you have a good idea of how about 70 percent of Windows Vista's SuperFetch technology works. As the next version of Windows XP's Prefetch, SuperFetch does everything that Prefetch does and more.

To begin with, SuperFetch overcomes one of the big drawbacks in Windows XP's Prefetch technology. As I've explained, Prefetch improves efficiency by loading the majority of the files and data needed by an application or process into memory so that they can be accessed very quickly when needed. However, because these files and data exist in memory, they are subject to the laws governing virtual memory. In other words, when other applications need access to memory, any prefetched data is moved out to the page file on the hard disk. When it is needed again, it then must be moved back from the page file to memory, which of course offsets the performance enhancement.

SuperFetch goes one step further to ensure that you get the most out of the performance enhancement. In addition to constructing the map files I described earlier, SuperFetch also constructs profiles of the applications you use that include information about how often and when you use them. SuperFetch then will keep track of the applications in your profile and note when any prefetched data is moved out to the page file. SuperFetch will then monitor the progress of the application that caused the prefetched data to be moved out to the page file and, as soon as that application is done, it will pull the prefetched data back into memory. So when you go to access the application, the prefetched data will again be available in memory and the application will be very responsive.

External memory devices

As I've mentioned, the Windows operating system will always make use of virtual memory, no matter how much physical RAM is installed in the system. I've also told you that one of the enhancements in SuperFetch is that is will retrieve prefetched data from the virtual memory page file to physical memory as soon as possible to ensure the continuity of the performance enhancement. However, because the page file exists on the hard disk, which is less responsive than physical memory, SuperFetch is still going to be hindered by the time that it takes the hard disk to respond to its retrieval operation.

To improve SuperFetch's retrieval operation, Microsoft decided to take advantage of the fact that large capacity USB 2.0 memory sticks/flash drives are widely available, relatively inexpensive, and very efficient—not as efficient as physical memory, but much faster than a hard disk. When you insert a USB 2.0 memory stick into a Windows Vista system, SuperFetch will be able to redirect any prefetched data that is being sent to virtual memory to the USB drive rather than the hard disk. As such, when it comes time to retrieve the data and return it to memory, the retrieval operation will be much quicker.

When you insert a USB 2.0 memory stick into a system running Windows Vista, you'll see an AutoPlay dialog box like the one shown in Figure A. (Keep in mind that chances are good that not all USB 2.0 memory sticks/flash drives will be compatible with SuperFetch.)

Figure A

Windows Vista SuperFetch can use USB 2.0 memory sticks/flash drives as virtual memory.

You'll then be prompted to specify the amount of storage space that you want to designate to SuperFetch, as shown in Figure B. As you can see, Windows Vista will automatically set aside the recommended amount of space, but you can use the slider to increase the amount of space.

Figure B

Windows Vista will automatically set aside a recommended amount of space for use with SuperFetch.

According to Microsoft, you can remove the memory stick any time you want without losing data and still use it to store other files. Microsoft has also stated that any SuperFetch data stored on the memory stick will be encrypted so that it's not accessible when the memory stick is used in another computer.

Bogus SuperFetch rumors

There are rumors spreading around the Internet that Windows XP has a SuperFetch component built into it that has been disabled by default. The rumor goes on to say that you can enable SuperFetch in Windows XP by making a small tweak in the registry. This is bogus information, so don't waste your time and effort with it. Adding the tweak to the registry probably won't do any harm to your system, but it won't do any good either.

Conclusion

Keep in mind that even though Windows Vista's official release date is slated for the 2006 holiday season, some of the information presented here may change between now and then. I'll continue to investigate SuperFetch and will cover it again as the new operating system evolves. As always, if you have comments or information to share about SuperFetch and Extended Memory Devices, please take a moment to drop by the Discussion area and tell us about it.

If none of the above resolve the problem, and you are running Windows 2000(in Windows NT 4 you should replace the HAL for enabling power off), there may be a problem with your HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) or BIOS. Check with the manufacturer of your computer to determine if there are updated BIOS code or drivers for your specific computer model.

Symptom

When you shutdown your Windows XP computer, it may take more time to complete the shutdown process. Slow shutdowns are caused by a number of factors. One of the common cause is the Clear Pagefile at Shutdown option enabled.

Virtual memory support uses a system pagefile to swap pages of memory to disk when they are not used. On a running system, this pagefile is opened exclusively by the operating system, and it is well protected. However, systems that are configured to allow booting to other operating systems might have to make sure that the system pagefile is wiped clean when this system shuts down. This ensures that sensitive information from process memory that might go into the pagefile is not available to an unauthorized user who manages to directly access the pagefile.

When this option is enabled, it causes the system pagefile to be cleared upon clean shutdown. This takes considerable time of the Operating System to flush-out the pagefile, thus causing the slow shutdown. You may disable ClearPageFileAtShutdown option to improve shutdown times. But the pagefile.sys will be intact and accessible via other Operating System, in case or dual or multi-boot.

Some points to improve the shutdown times

Start Registry Editor and navigate to the following key:

[HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]

Set ClearPageFileAtShutdown value to 0

Or, using Group Policy Editor [for Windows XP Professional]

Click Start, Run and type Secpol.msc
Click Local Policies | Security Options
In the right-pane, set Shutdown: Clear virtual memory pagefile to Disabled

However, this setting is not the only cause for slow shutdowns. Non-responsive programs and Services also contribute to slow shutdowns. If the problem is seen recently after installing a third-party driver or software, try a System Restore rollback to see if that resolves the slow shutdown problem.

Other checkpoints

Try a clean-boot troubleshooting. Clean-boot troubleshooting is designed to isolate a performance problem. To perform clean-boot troubleshooting, you must take a number of actions, and then restart the computer after each action (to test whether the action resolved the problem). These two articles will help you isolate the problem.

How to manage Windows Startup

Check the Event Logs for any errors and track-down the software/driver causing the problem. View the error messages registered in Event Log

You may be having profile unload problems if you experience slow logoff (with Saving Settings for most of the time while logging off). UPHClean is a service that once and for all gets rid of problems with user profile not unloading. See User Profile Hive Cleanup tool's Readme.txt before installing it.

Having a good computer nowadays does not necessarily mean to have a computer that is a very expensive one. This is because there are many offers made available for us from which we can discover that we can choose a very good one which does not necessarily has to have a very high price. What is important when looking for a good computer is to be able to analyze the important features which determine its quality and also to make sure that it includes good quality components. Both the hardware and the software are very important for the way in which the computer functions. This is why it is necessary for the users interested in having a well functioning computer to become aware of the fact that good hardware components make the computer a good quality one.

Good quality hardware components can also help us improve our computers when this is necessary. This is why it is very important for the users to be aware of the necessary features to be analyzed related to these components in order for them to become able to decide whether one type of hardware components might be a good choice for them to use within their PC or not. Also very important to be taken in account is the fact that it is required for the users to analyze their hardware on a regular basis so that they might always avoid taking the risk of encountering certain problems while working with their computers. In this respect, it is important to be mentioned the fact that there are many ways in which a computer hardware can be checked and analyzed in order to always be aware of its performance. A very appreciated way of analyzing the computer hardware has been considered to be the one in which are used free computer hardware diagnostics tools because many of these have proved to be very efficient ones for which the users were not required to pay great sums of money. Certainly, in the end, every user should be able to choose the best way in which they consider to be appropriate to check the performance of their computer hardware.

There are many examples of tools which offer the users the opportunity to get free computer hardware diagnostics nowadays. All of these tools are known to present both advantages and disadvantages. This is why it is important for every user to be capable of analyzing the offers available for them on the market in order to take a good decision. One example of a good free computer hardware diagnostics tool is considered to be HSLAB Free Sys Monitor. It has been considered to be a very useful tool for the users interested in being aware of the performance of their computer hardware. It has also been appreciated because it offers the users the possibility to choose a certain value that they consider to require an analysis. They can choose to analyze the central processing unit, the random access memory, the network connections available on their computers, the disk space on their computer and many other important components which can influence the performance of their PCs. It can only be monitored one type of value at a time but the switch between these values can be easily done so that the user might not loose very much time trying to find out important information about these computer hardware components which might be the cause of a certain problem that they have encountered while working with their computers or maybe just for a routine check.

Also very important to be mentioned is the fact that the small display included within this tool can be very easily placed anywhere on the user?s computer screen because it is considered not to take up much space being in this way very useful for the user without interrupting his or her work on the computer. In general, this free computer hardware diagnostics tool has been very much appreciated by some of the users who have worked with it. In the end, it can be easily tried by every user interested in deciding whether it represents a good free computer hardware diagnostics tool for him or her or not.

A good example of free computer hardware diagnostics program has also been considered to be ASTRA - Advanced Sysinfo Tool. It has been appreciated for its capacity of performing a very good computer configuration type of analysis which offers the users the possibility to receive detailed information about the way in which their computer hardware components function. It has been also appreciated because it offers the users the possibility to check their undocumented types of hardware as well, not only the documented ones. It is considered to be very useful in detecting the central processing unit and the bus types of frequencies. It is also considered useful in detecting the 148 processor. It can provide detailed information not only about the central processing unit but also about other computer hardware components such as the motherboard, the hard disks, the chipset, the CD-Rom, the sound card, the printer, the network type of card and others being in this way very useful for the users interested in being aware of the performance of their computer hardware components at any time. The free computer hardware diagnostics offered by this program are being displayed as a file report which enables the users to read the information that interests them. All of these features are very important to be analyzed when trying to decide whether this free computer hardware diagnostics tool might be a good choice to use or not when we are interested in checking the performance of our computer hardware components.

There are many important aspects related to computers which have become more familiar among users in the last few years. This is because computers are being used much more that they used to be used in the past and in this way the users have become more aware of the necessity to get well informed about their computers, their computer components and the way in which they influence the well functioning of their PCs. Among the many types of information required to be learnt by the users the ones related to their hardware components are considered to be very important because the computer system is widely influenced by the performance of these components. This is why it is very important for the users to be aware of the necessity to check the performance of their computer hardware on a regular basis so that they might not encounter problems while working with their computers.

By checking their computer hardware components and maybe by deciding which ones need to be improved the users can actually improve their computers and the way in which they can work with them. This analysis can be made in many ways according to each user?s choice. One way is by using free computer hardware diagnostics tools which have proved to be very efficient for some of the users who have worked with them.

This article is intended to notify you of this default behavior of Internet Explorer. If you include user information in HTTP or HTTPS URLs, we recommend that you explore the workarounds that are described in this article. For more information about the 832894 security update, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

How programs that host the Web browser control can use this new default behavior to handle user information in HTTP or in HTTPS URLs

loadTOCNode(2, 'moreinformation'); By default, this new default behavior for handling user information in HTTP or HTTPS URLs applies only to Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer. To use this new behavior in other programs that host the Web browser control, create a DWORD value named SampleApp.exe, where SampleApp.exe is the name of the executable file that runs the program. Set the DWORD value's value data to 1 in one of the following registry keys.

• For all users of the program, set the value in the following registry key:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_HTTP_USERNAME_PASSWORD_DISABLE
• For the current user of the program only, set the value in the following registry key:
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_HTTP_USERNAME_PASSWORD_DISABLE

How to disable the new default behavior for handling user information in HTTP or HTTPS URLs

loadTOCNode(2, 'moreinformation'); To disable the new default behavior in Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer, create iexplore.exe and explorer.exe DWORD values in one of the following registry keys and set their value data to 0.

• For all users of the program, set the value in the following registry key:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_HTTP_USERNAME_PASSWORD_DISABLE
• For the current user of the program only, set the value in the following registry key:
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_HTTP_USERNAME_PASSWORD_DISABLE

Among other things updates Internet Explorer so that you can no longer use "username:password@" links and must instead manually type in web site passwords.

To re-enable this feature only and keep other updates of the cumulative patch.

In Windows registry go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ Main \ FeatureControl \ FEATURE_HTTP_USERNAME_PASSWORD_DISABLE \

...and set both explore.exe and iexplore.exe values to 0.

Detailed instructions:
Start Menu > Run... > regedit >
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ Main

Right click on Main > New > Key > name it
FeatureControl

Right click on FeatureControl > New > Key > name it
FEATURE_HTTP_USERNAME_PASSWORD_DISABLE

Right click on FEATURE_HTTP_USERNAME_PASSWORD_DISABLE > New > DWORD value > name it
iexplore.exe

Right click on FEATURE_HTTP_USERNAME_PASSWORD_DISABLE > New > DWORD value > name it
explore.exe

Double click on both iexplore.exe and explore.exe set their value data to 0.

If there are different Windows users accounts, to set this change for the current user only, set the following two values to 0:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ Main \ FeatureControl \ FEATURE_HTTP_USERNAME_PASSWORD_DISABLE \ iexplore.exe

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ Main \ FeatureControl \ FEATURE_HTTP_USERNAME_PASSWORD_DISABLE \ explore.exe

Metacharacters - line separators

Metacharacters - predefined classes

Metacharacters - word boundaries

Metacharacters - iterators

Modifiers

Modifiers are for changing behaviour of RegExpr Engine.

There are many ways to set up modifiers.
Any of these modifiers may be embedded within the regular expression itself using the (...) construct.
Also, You can assign to appropriate RegExpr Engine properties (ModifierX for example to change /x, or ModifierStr to change all modifiers together).

i

Do case-insensitive pattern matching (using installed in you system locale settings)

m

Treat string as multiple lines. That is, change "^'' and "$'' from matching at only the very start or end of the string to the start or end of any line anywhere within the string, see also Line separators.

s

Treat string as single line. That is, change ".'' to match any character whatsoever, even a line separators (see also Line separators), which it normally would not match.

g

Non standard modifier. Switching it Off You'll switch all following operators into non-greedy mode (by default this modifier is On). So, if modifier /g is Off then '+' works as '+', '*' as '*' and so on

x

Extend your pattern's legibility by permitting whitespace and comments (see explanation below).

r

Non-standard modifier. If is set then range a-y additional include Russian letter 'ё', A-Я additional include 'Ё', and a-Я include all Russian symbols. The modifier /x itself needs a little more explanation. It tells the RegExpr Engine to ignore whitespace that is neither backslashed nor within a character class. You can use this to break up your regular expression into (slightly) more readable parts. The # character is also treated as a metacharacter introducing a comment, for example:

This also means that if you want real whitespace or # characters in the pattern (outside a character class, where they are unaffected by /x), that you'll either have to escape them or encode them using octal or hex escapes. Taken together, these features go a long way towards making regular expressions text more readable.

Perl extensions

(imsxr-imsxr)
You may use for modifying modifiers by the fly. If this construction inlined into subexpression, then it effects only into this subexpression

Examples:
(i)Saint-Petersburg matches' Saint-petersburg' and 'Saint-Petersburg'
(i)Saint-(-i)Petersburg matches' Saint-Petersburg' but not 'Saint-petersburg'
(i)(Saint-)Petersburg matches' Saint-petersburg' and 'saint-petersburg'
((i)Saint-)Petersburg matches' saint-Petersburg', but not 'saint-petersburg'


(#text)
A comment, the text is ignored. Note that RegExpr Engine closes the comment as soon as it sees a ")", so there is no way to put a literal ")" in the comment.

The asterisks match all addresses, so the main server serves no requests. Due to the fact that www.example.com is first in the configuration file, it has the highest priority and can be seen as the default or primary server. That means that if a request is received that does not match one of the specified ServerName directives, it will be served by this first VirtualHost.

The above configuration is what you will want to use in almost all name-based virtual hosting situations. The only thing that this configuration will not work for, in fact, is when you are serving different content based on differing IP addresses or ports.

Using the ServerPath directive

We have a server with two name-based vhosts. In order to match the correct virtual host a client must send the correct Host: header. Old HTTP/1.0 clients do not send such a header and Apache has no clue what vhost the client tried to reach (and serves the request from the primary vhost). To provide as much backward compatibility as possible we create a primary vhost which returns a single page containing links with an URL prefix to the name-based virtual hosts.

Due to the ServerPath directive a request to the URL http://www.sub1.domain.tld/sub1/ is always served from the sub1-vhost.
A request to the URL http://www.sub1.domain.tld/ is only served from the sub1-vhost if the client sent a correct Host: header. If no Host: header is sent the client gets the information page from the primary host.

Please note that there is one oddity: A request to http://www.sub2.domain.tld/sub1/ is also served from the sub1-vhost if the client sent no Host: header.

The RewriteRule directives are used to make sure that a client which sent a correct Host: header can use both URL variants, i.e., with or without URL prefix.

First of all, you should be convinced, that your server uses the mod_status module. For this purpose open in your text editor a web server configuration file httpd.conf. Find the section loading modules and check up, whether there is there a line:

LoadModule status_module modules/mod_status.so

This line can differ a little depending on the version of your server and operation system. If this line has ahead a symbol # that remove it.
 

Now you should locate lines:

# Real-time info on requests and configuration
#Include conf/extra/httpd-info.conf

and uncomment second line:

# Real-time info on requests and configuration
Include conf/extra/httpd-info.conf

Now need to proceed to a configuration of the status. Open conf/extra/httpd-info.conf file and find the lines:

#ExtendedStatus On

Remove # symbol:

ExtendedStatus On

Check your domain name:

<Location /server-status>
   SetHandler server-status
   Order deny,allow
   Deny from all
   Allow from .yourdomain.com
</Location>

Or for testing:

<Location /server-status>
   SetHandler server-status
   Order deny,allow
   Deny from all
   Allow from all
</Location>

Line "Allow from .yourdomain.com" enables queries of the status from any computer of your domain(yourdomain.com). If you want to limit access only for the your computer, you should write "Allow from yourcomputer.yourdomain.com". Where your computer is a name of your computer and yourdomain - a name of your domain. Also you can write "Allow from all". In this case, the statistics of your wed server will be accessible from any computer in the Internet. We urgently do not recommend so to do, you should have very serious reason for this purpose!

Your web server configuration is finished! Now you should save your changes and restart your web the server.

(print control and audit printing activity) for printers at workstation, based on Windows NT operation systems family. At this time this family includes Windows 2000/XP and Windows Vista. The program inspects the print jobs on a computer, where software is installed. Main assignment of the program - collection of the information about sizes (in pages and kilobytes) of local print jobs and record it to the database for the subsequent analysis or creation reports about printing activity.

Note: if your printer has its own network interface or connected to the hardware network print server( JetDirect or any other), you should install the
printer as a local printer on the server where Print Logger is installed. You should specify the MS Standard TCP\IP port with the printer IP address as the port of the printer, or the JetDirect(or other) port for a network print-sever. Users should connect to printer using the print server as to the regular network printer:
\\YourServerName\YourPrinterName.

The program can also inspect sizes of print jobs based on defined quotas and prohibit printing, if the quotas are exceeded (cost recovery and audit print).
Quotas for printing is very powerful and effective mechanism for cost management on printing in your organization. Limiting printing activities for some employees, you can really save on a paper, a toner for printers (especial at a color printing), expenses for repair and service for printers.
