ZA problems? (was Re: problems with zone alarm/XP SP2?)


I got around that by putting all of my XDM and SSH servers' trusted IPs
in ZA's trusted zone and made sure Xwin.exe and Ssh.exe were authorized
for ZA's trusted zone.  In my situation, the relevant IPs are in my LAN,
secured by a firewall on my Internet-LAN bridge box, so behind the
firewall the security impact is minimal, especially relative to Windows.

ZA config window -> "Firewall" section -> "Zones" tab -> "Add >>"
button.
