We are experiencing problem with eSafe Protect Gateway 2.0 build 93 with FW1
3.0b build 3083. The ESPG is the only application running on an IBM box with
256 MB memory and NT 4.0 SP4. Following are the problems:

1. The box crashes after 1-2 weeks without the Text Inspection turn on.
According to the vendor, this is a long know problem that may caused by a
memory leak. Their work around is to reboot it every week at off hour. Does
anyone else experiencing this?

2. The above crash interval becomes more often if Text Inspection is turn on
(frequency up to few hours and couple of days). Build 93 of ESPG suppose to
fix this. Does anyone running Text inspection without any problem?

3. Melissa virus was able to pass the Security server with ESPG scan. Our
virus table was dated Mar 29, 1999. According to eSafe, this is the up to
date version. Is anyone having the same problem?

4. The rserver.exe on the ESPG show the virus table to be Mar 29, 1999 but
when I run rserver.exe on a remote machine to manage the ESPG box, the virus
table dated Feb 18, 1999. Why there is a different?

5. Any location I can download virus files to test the ESPG? eSafe refused
to send me infected files due to an agreement with ICSA. 

Cheers,

Ken Lui
