What impact will SekChek have on my system?


From the very outset SekChek was designed to be non-intrusive, make ZERO changes to the host/target system, and leave no trace behind after the Scan process has completed. With 20 years experience and more than 80,000 successful Scans behind us, we are not aware of any incident where SekChek has caused problems on a host system – as long as it is executed in accordance with the standard operating instructions.

If there are concerns about the impact SekChek may have on system performance, our advice is to run the Scan software outside of peak processing time. This is especially applicable to UNIX systems with large file systems, to NetWare systems with large numbers of accounts, and to AS/400 systems with numerous programs that adopt authorities.

The SekChek for Netware and Windows software contain a convenient Scheduler facility, which allows you to run SekChek at some future point in time.
