Thanks guys... well i get it .... we need to disable both the ssh & the telnet service in the server so that there is no telnet connection from outside the system.

Well remote desktop is enabled yes but then its just for 2-3 users. The problem here we face is anyone from the domain can login & even delete watever he wants. MKS SSH i did disable that ..let me try it again so you mean all the MKS services are down? Will it not affect my application R12?

That said, SSH is probably the most secure component of your system by far... And, for what it's worth, if you're that concerned about it, disable Windows Remote Desktop. Although, personally, if you're that concerned about security, I wouldn't be running Windows in the first place. -- James ---------------------------------------------------------------------- James J.
