Re: [Kerio 4.x] port 44334 is OPEN: BIG SECURITY HOLE
(sigh of relief)... OK. That makes sense, then. It's a screw up... yes, hope that gets fixed... On the technical side, then, it sounds as if the remote admin disables if you don't set a password, which is actually a good idea... typically, there's a check to enable remote admin, and then you have to set a password independently... naturally, having a remote admin enabled and no password is around as humorous a contradiction to "firewalling" as you can get... rather like hanging a key next to the door, after you put a big brass deadbolt on it  ... well... looks like another "release beta"...

Well I was running the restricted version of 4.08, and had no access to these controls, yet my tcp 44334 port was wide open. I had no control over this, and it could have possibly allowed others to connect to my system as no password was set.
