Abstract: A method, programmed medium and system are disclosed which provide the ability to create a customized executable graphical window (CGW) application by selecting desired regions or modules from different base applications. In one example, the system records the location of a selected region of an RGA, creates a CGW to include the selected region of the base RGA application and saves the CGW as a GUI executable application separate from the RGA. The user is enabled to run the CGW as a separate application without the need to switch among the various RGAs of which regions or modules have been included in the CGW.

Abstract: A login shell and file/directory access checking supporting multiple user credentials are provided. The login shell receives user input from a particular user including login information for a plurality of user accounts for that particular user. The login shell authenticates the plurality of user accounts using the login information and retrieves a plurality of user credentials corresponding to the plurality of user accounts. This plurality of user credentials forms a multi-user credential. In response to a request for access to a file, the access rights to the file for the user are verified by verifying the access rights of the multi-user credential.

Abstract: A mechanism for enabling efficient encryption and integrity validation of network files. When a request to read a file stored in a local network file system is received, the local network file system examines cryptographic attributes associated with the file to determine if the file is encrypted or integrity-verified. If the cryptographic attributes indicate the file is encrypted, the local network file system omits the encryption of the file by the local network file system prior to passing the file to the remote network file system. If the cryptographic attributes indicate the file is integrity-verified, the local network file system omits the integrity-verification of the file by the local network file system prior to passing the file to the remote network file system. The local network file system then transmits the file to the remote network file system.

Abstract: A login shell and command access checking supporting multiple user credentials are provided. The login shell receives a request to execute a command from a remote computer including a multi-user credential. The login shell authenticates the command access rights of the multi-user credential. In response to command access rights being granted, the command is executed.

Abstract: A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program product for managing e-mail messages. Responsive to receiving an e-mail message for a recipient, a determination is made as to whether a condition is present in the e-mail message using a policy associated with the recipient. If the condition is present in the e-mail message, a determination is made as to whether a number of other e-mail messages having the condition exceed a threshold associated with condition. An oldest e-mail message is removed from the number of e-mail messages having the condition in response to a determination that the number of e-mail messages exceeds the threshold.
