Broadcast messages from me?

I'm not sure what forum this belongs in so I've posted here and in the
Safari forum.
I recently received an email from my internet provider stating the following:
"You are receiving this email as we have received complaints from the internet community that your computer has been sending unauthorized broadcast messages (SPAM) to other systems. It is most likely that your system has been compromised, unbeknownst to you, with a virus, trojan/proxy, etc that is allowing a remote entity to relay spam through your system."
They suggested I go to trojanscan.com but I've done that and it doesn't seem to work with my system. What else can I do to eliminate this problem?

Wayne...
Thanks for your helpful tips. Here's my answers:
1. I don't have file sharing turned on, but I do all security updates as I'm reminded of them.
2. No services/servers
3. My firewall is off
4. I'm connected with an RCA digital broadband modem provided by my cable tv/internet company
5. According to their email... this is all the info I have, it reads...
"You are receiving this email as we have received complaints from the internet community that your computer has been sending unauthorized broadcast messages (SPAM) to other systems. It is most likely that your system has been compromised, unbeknownst to you, with a virus, trojan/proxy, etc that is allowing a remote entity to relay spam through your system.
Recently there has been a significant rise in spammers compromising/using high-speed internet connections (such as DSL and cable) to relay these messages. For a brief overview of this issue we recommend the following USA Today article:
http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/computersecurity/2004-02-16-zombie-menace_x.ht m
It is most likely that your system has been compromised, unbeknownst to you, with a virus, trojan, etc so we request that you scan you system with an up to date virus scanner"
As for your "discussion" point, I called my ISP security dept. and they have said that its been determined that spam is actually coming through my modem (though he also said it could have been a large volume of email one day... which I don't do).
I did download clamXav, but it seems to just check individual files. I tried to set it to scan my system but it seemed like it would take days. How can I do an entire system scan?
Thanks so much Wayne, you've been a GREAT help!

IC Broadcast Messaging not working

Hi SAP Experts,
When we open IC broadcast messaging from IC_MANAGER role we get the following screen :
Any sort of help will be of great help... Thanks in advance..

Hello,
I could see a script error at the left bottom corner of your screenshot. What is that error?
Check if all the SICF services mentioned in Note 1295006 are active.
If you are on EHP3
check the service /default_host/sap/public/bc/bsp is active in SICF.

How to enable Cell Broadcast message in Iphone5

Hello!!
I work at True Corp. in Thailand. I would like to use Cell Broadcast System by using Iphone5 for receving Cell Broadcast message from Radio Site. I cannot find Cell Broadcast setting in Iphone5, I am not sure I have to new software from Apple or not?
How to enable Cell Broadcast function in Iphone5?
Note: Reference from this Website https://smscellbroadcast.wordpress.com/tag/iphone/
Thank you

In your case, you need to reset the router to factory defaults, at which point the SSID will be set to broadcast and it cannot be disabled. To know more about why there is no option to disable the SSID broadcast anymore on the Cloud firmware, click here.

Cisco Unified CCX Premium - 7.0(1)SR05_Build504 - Supervisor broadcast message

Hello folks,
I’ve got about 130 agents on my system.
We’ve noticed a couple of Agents didn’t receive broadcast messages from their supervisor.
All Agent PCs are the same build.
Does anyone have any fault-finding tips to help locate the source of the problem?

Hi
Presumably the teams are configured OK and the Supervisor can see the agents in their console?
It could be a firewall issue - either with the client firewalls, or otherwise... are they all on the same subnet?

Syslog broadcast messages dumping on Terminal

I have a mini-Linux router that is sending syslog messages to my server. Problem is, it sends a "broadcast message" that pops up in Terminal. Here is what it writes:
Broadcast Message from [email protected]
(no tty) at 21:24 MDT...
Aug 12 21:24:32 192.168.19.1 kernel: trigger_target: type = dnat
Broadcast Message from [email protected]
(no tty) at 21:24 MDT...
Aug 12 21:24:38 192.168.19.1 kernel: trigger_target: type = dnat
Broadcast Message from [email protected]
(no tty) at 21:24 MDT...
Aug 12 21:24:46 192.168.19.1 kernel: trigger_target: type = dnat
Broadcast Message from [email protected]
(no tty) at 21:24 MDT...
Aug 12 21:24:46 192.168.19.1 kernel: trigger_target: type = in
192.168.19.1 is the router and root@cube is the server. Anyone know what is causing this? Console.log is apparently the target of these messages but it sure makes it tough to use Terminal.

The problem is that the router is sending messages with the kernel priority. These are usually critical level events that you want to know about.
I'd first look to change the router's log level so that it only reports events that are relevant.
Failing that you can tell the OS to route kern messages elsewhere but then any kernel messages from your system would be lost.
If you want to take the latter route you need to edit /etc/syslog.conf
The line that's causing you problems is:
\.err;kern.;auth.notice;authpriv,remoteauth,install.none;mail.crit /dev/console
which tells syslog to route all kern.* messages to the console. Either remove the kern.* entry altogether, or create a new line for kern.* with a different destination (e.g. /var/log/system.log).

Random Broadcast Message

I use Terminal to connect to a server using telnet. In the last few days I have started to getting annoying and frequent broadcast messages
Broadcast Message from [email protected]
(no tty) at 0:29 EST...
Mar 8 00:29:00 mine kernel[0]:
Does anyone know where these come from and better yet how to stop them? I have had to restart the system for other reasons but these still persist.

Clearly the machine is trying to tell you something it thinks is important. Usually only the direst of warning messages get sent to the console.
The message should also be logged in /var/log/system.log so you should look there for other clues.
You should also check /etc/syslog.conf which is the file that controls which messages go where. It is possible that your syslog.conf has been edited to send additional messages to the console, so check there, too.
You could edit this file to stop the messages going to the console, but I wouldn't recommend that - that's just hiding the warnings when clearly something is amiss. Instead try and track down what the messages mean.

Cant Broadcast message to all users from sm02

HI
we have a Nw04s machine with Windows 2003OS installed on it and i am not able to send the message from Sm02.
When i open the tcode sm02 and whn i click create message i can see "system message text server name,client ,language then i create and click ok it is taking me to Sbwp tcode where i have to give the addresses.
I am able to send only by giving userid.Is there any way i can broadcast the message to all the users in the R/3.

SM02 is a standard transaction to create messages for all users. I have tried it on a NW04s on win2003 and it works fine.
You need to check your authorizations or get someone from Basis team to show you how its done.
cheers,

F4 lookup for Broadcast Messaging in CRM 5.0

Hi Gurus,
We have Broadcast Messaging configured and working for CRM 5.0, ready to be transported from our Development system through to our QA system for further testing.
However, when using the F4 lookup to add users to a distribution list, if we re-order the list and select a user it selects the user that was in that position before the list was reordered. Has anybody found anything about this bug, because I cannot find anything in the forums or in SAP Notes?
Also, we do not have checkboxes to select users, but have to add them one at a time - I'm not sure if this is poor design or a bug - does anybody know?
Thanks,
Andrew G.

John,
Many thanks for your reply.
I had decided to raise an OSS note for this and they are now looking at it. I have also raised the issue that users have to be added to the distribution lists one at a time, and I believe this is also being looked at as "missing functionality".
I'm surprised nobody else has noticed this.
Thanks again for your reply,
Andrew Griffin.

CRM Web IC - Broadcast Messaging

Hi All,
We are trying to implement CRM Web IC - Broadcast Messaging Component to receive messages from supervisors.
Could someone enlighten us How to implement Broadcast Messaging in CRM? Is there any detailed guide that gives details on how to acheive this? What are all the components required to acheive this?
Your help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards.

Hi Jagdish,
I worked on this task for a previous project, but it was unique as our IC WebClient implementation was not standard and included a industry extension for Services so we only had activated the ABAP stack for IC WebClient and did not utilize the Java stack.
As you know the IC WebClient uses the Java stack primarily for messaging services, which includes Broadcast Messaging since it is a Java based interface. This interface is provided via the ICM (Interaction Center Manager) application offered via the Portal and many will tell you that the Broadcast Messaging component cannot be used as a standalone application, but we provedd this was not the case.
In any event, if you wish to use Broadcast Messaging without ICM or Portal you only need to derive the appropriate URL and activate a service in SICF. I will try and help you from what I remember to get you there.
1. Activate Broadcast Messaging service in transaction SICF
default host --> sap --> bc --> bsp --> sap --> bsp_broadcast
2. Test URL in transaction SE80
The BSP Application for broadcast messaging is bsp_broadcast. Expand the folder Pages with Flow Logic and double-click on cicapplet.htm Then click on the Test icon or F8 key on your keyboard. Please note that the bsp application may or may not launch depending on your particular installation. I assume that your IC WebClient installation has both the ABAP and Java stacks activated.
3. Define URL
If you encounter issues launching the application ensure that your URL is correct. The URL used should look something like the following.
http:// <SAP application server> :port/ <path to business server page>/abapapplet.htm?login_option=supervisor&profile
= <profile name for broadcasting>
Hope this helps.

Broadcasting Message - Not working

Hi All,
We are trying to use the standard Broadcating messages functionality on IC web - CRM 7.0
But the Agents screen is not showing the broadcast messages even though the message log from IC_MANGER says it's been sent.
Does anyone have experience delaing with this kind of issue ? your quick help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Siva,
You are need to add the users to whom you want to broadcast the message from IC_Manager. Can you check if you have added the users?
Hope this helps.

Broadcast Message to All Phones

Hi
I am wanting to develop a solution to send a message to all IP phones or a selection of IP Phones.
I do not want to use a 3rd party product - I want to write the code myself in c#
I have downloaded the SDK and have the Push2Phone ASP scripts working.
I can send text from a C# web application to a particular IP Address by using the Execute Method.
Is using the Push2Phone example the only method to send to multiple phones?
Create a queue and send to each IP address one after the other an execute command?
Is there a broadcast method to send to all phones? How do you configure this?
The PushToPhone uses the execute method. Is this the correct method one would use to send to 200 phones?
Where is the best documentation for doing what I want. I have done a lot of searching but since I am new to this technology I keep finding information that is not quite relevant to my task. ( a url please ).
I hope someone can answer one or more of my questions.
Cheers
Chris

>Create a queue and send to each IP address one after >the other an execute command?
Yes, that's the way to go. Well, I'd use either a threadpool and send a bunch of requests simultaneously (with authentication, it can take a while before you get a response).
Also keep in mind to use your own authentication page to reduce the load on your CCM and speed up the process.
There is no broadcast message so you have to get all devices via DeviceListX.asp (CCM 3/4.x) or AXL Serviceability (CCM 5.x)

Broadcast message to loggen in portal users

Hi,
I'm trying to send system messages to all logged in users in the portal.
I tried to do this by using the following blog:
Brodcast messages to logged on users in Portal(Part1)
Unfortunately I always get an error from the display component. Which says:
Error in service call of Portal Component...
com.sapportals.portal.prt.service.ServiceException: Service not found: alertreceiver
This alertreceiver is a class in my project an the display component should find it.
Did anybody implement such a system messaging and can help me in this case?
Greetings

Hi Alex,
A resolved post about setup brioadcasting message in Portal.
broadcast messages to logged on users in portal
Webblogs:
Brodcast messages to logged on users in Portal(Part1)
Brodcast messages to logged on users in Portal(Part2)
You should be able to get your request done with the above. Hope that helps.
