Server Rights to anything?

Postby James » Fri 07 Apr, 2006 5:15 pm

I've a question regarding Zone Alarm and allowing server rights. For instance, Generic Host Process for Win 32 SErvices wants to accept connections from the internet. Do I deny it server rights? If I put it on ask (Zone Alarm) it bugs me throughout the day.

In fact, do you allow server rights to anything in ZA? I'm allowing access to the above but not server rights.

Generic Host Process controls all Windows server functions, and HTTP/FTP requests, plus any localhost requests.

In ZA, you should allow Server rights to anything you feel is a server application, for example SQL Server and Apache, although most apps will auto configure it upon installation.
