-
- OVERVIEW
-
- In many organizations, network users leaving workstations
- unattended poses serious security concerns. If a user walks
- away from their PC, leaving it logged into the network,
- others with physical access to the workstation can access
- files and data with the other user's security.
-
- Unlike other solutions that will reboot a workstation after
- a period of "inactivity", potentially leading to data loss,
- LockIT! will lock your PC, requiring that a password be
- entered to regain access to the workstation. LockIT! does
- this after a certain period of keyboard inactivity elapses,
- or on-demand by pressing a configurable "hot-key".
-
- Also important is that while LockIT! has locked out keyboard
- access to the workstation, unattended processes can continue
- to run uninterrupted!
-
- If security is an issue in your network environment, you'll
- find LockIT! indispensable.
-
-
- INSTALLING LOCKIT!
-
- To install the 30-day trial version of LockIT!, run the LI30DAY
- program to serialize LockIT! to your file server. (For the
- purchased version, the LIINSTAL program is run instead.)
-
- DOS VERSION
-
- For DOS Workstations, to install LockIT! into memory, simply
- issue the command LOCKIT, which will load the LOCKIT.COM and
- LOCKIT.OVR files into memory, requiring less than 2-1/2KB of
- resident memory.
-
- You may wish to consult the section below titled "COMMAND LINE
- PARAMETERS" for information on LockIT! options.
-
- For best results, LockIT! should be loaded after the NetWare
- shell (NETx), and before any other pop-up programs.
-
- When LockIT! is activated, either by the hot-key, or a key pressed
- after a period of inactivity, LockIT! will pop-up over your
- current application, and prompt you for your NetWare password to
- continue. You can press the Escape key to remove this display
- from the screen and continue execution of the interrupted program.
- The next time a key is pressed, you will again be prompted for
- a password.
-
- The default "Inactive Delay" specifies that LockIT! will activate
- if no keys are pressed within 5 minutes. This can be changed
- using the command-line parameters described below.
-
-
- WINDOWS VERSION
-
- For Windows Workstations, to install LockIT! into memory,
- follow the following steps:
-
- In the [386Enh] section of your Windows SYSTEM.INI file,
- include a "device=d:\path\WLOCKIT.386" statement informing
- Windows where it can load the LockIT! virtual device driver
- for 386 enhanced mode from.
-
- WLOCKIT.386 is required to provide support for LockIT! in
- DOS boxes, and to prevent the use of Ctrl-Alt-Del to kill
- the current task and get around LockIT!'s password prompt.
-
- Copy WLOCKIT.EXE and WLOCKIT.DLL to another location from
- which they can be loaded. WLOCKIT.EXE can be loaded via the
- "load=" statement in your WIN.INI, or the Windows 3.1 startup
- group.
-
- To provide support for encrypted passwords, the Novell NWCONN.DLL
- is used. This DLL is included with LockIT! for your convenience,
- and should not be used if you already have a later version of this
- file on your system. The complete set of NetWare DLLs for Windows
- can be found in the WINUP?.ZIP (currently WINUP7.ZIP) file in
- the NOVFILES file area on CompuServe.
-
- When LockIT! is activated, either by the hot-key, or a key pressed
- after a period of inactivity, LockIT! will pop-up over your
- current application, and prompt you for your NetWare password to
- continue. You can select Cancel to remove this display
- from the screen and continue execution of the interrupted program.
- The next time a key is pressed, you will again be prompted for
- a password.
-
- The default "Inactive Delay" specifies that LockIT! will activate
- if no keys are pressed within 5 minutes. This can be changed
- via the "Setup" option on the LockIT! icon's menu.
-
- A [LockIT!] section will be created in your WIN.INI with the
- following parameters:
-
- Inactive=xx, where xx specifies the number of minutes to wait
- where if no keyboard activity occurs within this amount of time
- the system will be considered inactive.
-
- Wait=xx, where xx specifies the amount of time that the LockIT!
- password prompt will display, before the background process
- is resumed.
-
- HotKey=xx specifies the Windows virtual key code that combines
- with Alt (plus Ctrl or Shift) to form the LockIT! hot-key.
- This is best set via the LockIT! Setup menu.
-
- HotKeyCtrlOrShift=xxxx specifies whether Ctrl or Shift will be
- combined to form the LockIT! hot-key. The LockIT! hot-key will
- consist of Alt plus the specified HotKey, and either Ctrl or
- Shift if specified here.
-
- One limitation of the current version of LockIT! is that it
- cannot correctly detect system inactivity if you are running
- any applications with PIF files set for exclusive mode.
-
- For best results, it is suggested that you also configure a
- screen saver in the Windows Control Panel for use with LockIT!
- LockIT! will activate the screen saver after unsuccesful
- login attempts to help keep keystrokes from getting through
- to the underlying application.
-
-
- COMMAND-LINE PARAMETERS (DOS)
-
- LockIT! Supports the following command-line parameters:
-
- /U unloads LockIT! from memory, only if LockIT! was the last program
- loaded into memory.
- /D tells LockIT! to use disk overlays in favor of expanded or extended
- memory.
- /N installs LockIT! entirely in conventional memory, disabling any
- memory swapping.
- /ND tells LockIT! not to use disk overlays.
- /NE tells LockIT! not to use expanded memory.
- /NX tells LockIT! not to use extended memory.
- /NU tells LockIT! not to use upper (high DOS) memory. (640KB - 1MB)
-
- /I=99 where 99 is a value that sets the inactive delay.
- If no keys are pressed within this many minutes, LockIT! considers
- the PC to be inactive. (default=5 minutes)
- If CastAway considers the PC inactive, it will not pop-up
- with any new message displays until a key is pressed
- /W=99 where 99 is a value greater than 10 sets the wait delay.
- This delay specifies how long the login prompt will remain on
- screen before LockIT! resumes execution of the currently working
- process. (default=30 seconds)
- /B enables screen blanking on EGA and VGA systems
- /S enables the "snake" screen saver
- /NB disables screen blaking (default)
- /OFF temporarily disables LockIT!
- /ON re-enables LockIT!
-
-
- CHANGING THE DEFAULT HOT-KEY (DOS)
-
- You can also change LockIT!'s default hot-key of <CTRL>-<ALT>-<L>
- the command line with the following command line parameters:
-
- # Tells LockIT! to use <CTRL> alone in the hot-key.
-
- @ Tells LockIT! to use <ALT> alone in the hot-key.
-
- & Tells LockIT! to use <CTRL>-<LEFT SHIFT> in the hot-key.
-
- ! Tells LockIT! to use <ALT>-<LEFT SHIFT> in the hot-key.
-
- A-Z Any alphabetic character from A to Z can be specified
- to work in conjunction with <ALT> or <CTRL> in the hot-
- key.
-
- Fxx Any function key (F1-F12) can be specified to work in
- conjunction with <ALT> or <CTRL> in the hot-key.
-
- Examples:
-
- LOCKIT alone defaults to the <CTRL>-<ALT>-<L> hot-key, or if
- LockIT! has already been loaded, the hot-key is not changed.
-
- LOCKIT X tells LockIT! to use <CTRL>-<ALT>-<X> as its hot-key.
-
- LOCKIT #Z tells LockIT! to use <CTRL>-<Z> as its hot-key.
-
- LOCKIT F12 tells LockIT! to use <ALT>-<F12> as its hot-key.
-
- LOCKIT &F5 tells LockIT! to use <CTRL>-<LEFT SHIFT>-<F5> as its hot-key.
-
- LOCKIT !Z tells LockIT! to use <ALT>-<LEFT SHIFT>-<Z> as its
- hot-key.
-
-
-
-
- COMPATIBILITY CONSIDERATIONS
-
- For best results, LockIT! should be loaded after the NetWare
- shell (NETx), and before any other pop-up programs.
-
- LockIT! may experience problems with some revisions of some
- manufacturer's VGA adapters. If your screen becomes corrupted
- when LockIT! pops up, or after exiting LockIT!, include the
- following statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
-
- SET VGASAVE=OFF
-
-
- MISCELLANEOUS INFO
-
- The Supervisor password can be used to unlock a locked workstation,
- by entering SUPERVISOR/PASSWORD at the password prompt.

-
- NETWORK UTILITIES
- -----------------
-
- * I-Queue! - Simplifies network printing and print queue management
- in the Novell NetWare environment. From within a small memory
- resident pop-up (0 to 2-1/2KB), I-Queue! allows users to easily
- change NetWare print queues and modify "capture" parameters.
- I-Queue! is compatible with Novell's PRINTCON/PRINTDEF and adds
- global PRINTCON support for Novell's own utilities.
- Queue management capabilities include: delete/reorder print jobs,
- move/copy jobs between queues, and hold/delayed printing.
- NOW INCLUDES A WINDOWS VERSION!
-
- * I-Queue! Server - Turn printers attached to any network workstation
- into shared network printers. Two to four times faster than RPRINTER,
- compatible with workstations running Windows, and compatible with
- printer ports that do not provide "hardware interrupt support".
-
- * LockIT! - Intelligent Security for DOS & Windows workstations
- on Novell NetWare networks. LockIT! addresses the problem of
- users leaving workstations unattended, and the security issues
- that this presents. Unlike other solutions that will reboot or
- logout a workstation after a period of "inactivity", potentially
- leading to data loss, LockIT! locks out keyboard input until you
- enter your NetWare password...even allowing unattended processes
- to continue executing.
-
- * CastAway! - A better NetWare broadcast message trap. Get NetWare
- message notification (e.g., SEND) without your PC locking up until
- you press CTRL-ENTER! Get notified of new messages while in graphics
- based applications! All in 0 to 1-1/2KB of conventional memory!
-
- * PopIT! - Gain pop-up access to almost ANY program with less than
- 2-1/2 KB overhead. Network administrators -- access SYSCON,
- RCONSOLE, FCONSOLE and all of your favorite network utilities
- without leaving your current application.
-
- * OnCall! - A memory resident "Chat" utility for Novell NetWare,
- that runs in between 0 and 2-1/2 KB of workstation memory.
- Simple, straightforward, and easy to use. NOW INCLUDES A
- WINDOWS VERSION!
-
- EXPRESSIT! ELECTRONIC MAIL
- --------------------------
-
- * ExpressIT! Electronic Mail - The ExpressIT! Electronic Mail product
- family includes the following products:
-
- * ExpressIT! - The network version of ExpressIT!, including
- the MHS-compatible DOS version, which runs in less than 2KB of
- resident memory.
-
- * ExpressIT! Remote - A remote version of ExpressIT! (DOS) customized
- for use on stand-alone/remote PCs. Includes Personal MHS and
- allows users to send and receive mail with any MHS based
- electronic mail system. Includes the ability to run the MHS
- Connectivity Manager from within the 2KB TSR without exiting
- your current application.
-
- * ExpressIT! Windows Client - An upgrade for the network version
- of ExpressIT! offering native support for the Microsoft Windows
- environment, and a wealth of additional features.
-
- * ExpressIT! Remote Windows - A remote version of the Windows
- version of ExpressIT! customized for use on stand-alone/remote
- PCs. Includes Personal MHS and allows users to send and receive
- mail with any MHS based electronic mail system.
-
- A special Windows based MHS configuration utility eliminates the
- need to use the MHS Directory Manager.
-
- All versions of ExpressIT! include ExpressIT! Directory Assistance,
- facilitating automatic exchange of user directories between ExpressIT!
- hosts.
-
- MHS GATEWAYS AND UTILITIES
- --------------------------
-
- * MHS Scheduler - An MHS mail agent that provides greater flexibility
- in configuring when MHS will connect to a host. On a host-by-host
- basis, the MHS administrator can configure different frequencies of
- forced connections based on different times of the day, with
- separate weekday, weekend, and holiday scheduling possible.
- MHS gateways and internetwork connections can also be scheduled.
- The companion RunIT! utility simplifies the creation of batch file
- gateways...now you can run your tape backup system on your MHS
- server.
-
- * MHS Librarian! - An MHS Gateway that allows users to request
- information to be forwarded to them via MHS. Requests are
- made by placing a keyword in the "SUBJECT" field of the message
- that you address to the library. A list of files may be
- requested by sending a message with the keyword of INDEX. The
- system Admin can also configure MHS Librarian so that selected
- users can request files or directories other than those that
- appear in the index. Security is provided by a password program
- that generates unique daily passwords, a fixed password, or you
- can create your own password utility.
-
- MHS Librarian! also supports "discussion lists", similar to
- the "list server" concept on the internet.
-
- * PageIT! - An MHS gateway connecting MHS-based electronic mail
- systems to full text alphanumeric pagers. Once configured,
- sending messages to an alphanumeric pager is as simple as
- sending a message from your favorite MHS application.
-
- * ForwardIT! - An MHS mail agent for automatically forwarding
- MHS based electronic mail messages. ForwardIT! can forward
- (or copy) messages addressed to an MHS address to an alternate
- address.
-
- ForwardIT! is most useful in the MHS remote e-mail environment.
- By remote, we refer to field workers or business travelers who
- operate ExpressIT! Remote, or other MHS compatible remote
- software, on a PC or laptop to access their electronic mail
- from a distant location. Examples could include a salesperson
- between sales calls, a business traveler in a hotel room,
- or work-at-home scenarios.
-
- Without ForwardIT!, when mail is sent to a recipient's office
- address, MHS does not allow for a remote user to dial into the
- network and retrieve mail waiting for their office address. Mail
- addressed to this office address can only be picked up at the
- office.
-
- In order to send a message to the user's MHS remote, the sender
- must assume responsibility for sending a copy of the message to
- the remote MHS address.
-
- With ForwardIT!, the user leaves a forwarding address at the
- office, and while they're out, all messages will be forwarded,
- or copied, to their forwarding address, giving users transparent
- access to their electronic mail while away from the office.
-
- This forwarding address can be any valid MHS address, including
- addresses via MHS gateways.
-
- * MhsQ! - An MHS gateway interface to NetWare print queues.
- Messages can be sent via MHS to a NetWare print queue.
- This capability can be useful for MHS remote sites and/or
- MHS enabled applications for generating printed output
- and/or reports.
-
- MhsQ! can also redirect print queues on one file server
- to a remote print queue on another file server via MHS.
-
- * ExpressIT! MHS Directory Assistant - A directory services
- gateway that automatically creates and updates user routes
- in a multi-host workgroup environment. Add a user at one
- host within the workgroup, and the user route will automatically
- be created at all other hosts within the workgroup. Add a
- new host to your workgroup, and the host and user lists will
- automatically be added to other hosts within the workgroup.
- (Directory Assistant is bundled with ExpressIT! but is also
- available separately.)
-
- * MHSNotify! - A TSR which runs on the MHS mail server only, and
- automatically notifies recipients of new electronic mail
- received from remote MHS sites, or across internetwork
- connections. An excellent alternative to MHSALERT for
- DaVinci e-mail users! (MHSNotify! is bundled with ExpressIT!)
-
