May be somebody know how to completely disable BO protection?
I'd faced with very big problem with BOEP in Proventia Desktop (so, now
I don't use BOEP on Desktops), and I don't want to repeat the same on my
servers!

Thanks.

Yeah, the BO stuff is awfully quirky. I have come to the 
conclusion that NOBODY makes a decent BO protection. Cisco's 
security agent also has problems. McAfee/Entercept will slow 
a machine down to a crawl, and it generates false positives like mad.

Andrew,

I'm not sure if this is your issue, but I would definitely 
disable the Buffer Overflow protection on server sensors, we 
have had nothing but trouble on Proventia Desktop with this.  
Also, there is a new build out there with SP 4.3, but I don't 
remember where it is on the site.  It also has a lot of 
advanced parameters already included that we have previously 
had to insert into every new install.

Hope this helps,

This is a daunting little problem I have had lately. Server 
sensors that just croak. They stop working. When you try to 
restart them, you get an error that the OS cannot find the 
file specified. Nothing will restart them - rebooting, 
nothing.  The issdeamon is running. Just not the Buffer 
Overflow / IPS engine. 
 
The only fix I have been able to discover is to reinstall SS 
and start over. 

Anybody have any info on this? I checked the Knowledge Base 
on this, but nothing. 
 
Also, when is ISS going to put out a new Server Sensor build. 
I am tired of installing it and then having to go through the 
whole service pack update. Can't we get a repackage?  
 
Oh, and while I am complaining - where the heck is "Proventia 
Server??!?!?"
