I was setting "GuardianOption = 0" AND probably also restarting the
server (several weeks ago); but then I was setting "GuardianOption =
1" again for testing and noticed that processes would not terminate.
I can repeat this test in the evening, when our staff was leaving.

I also have been playing with the "dummypacket"-option to find a
possible solution but - just as the warning in the config-file is
saying - this would just hang the client-machines.

fbguard.exe is now neither running as a process nor as an application,
and also it was not when I had about 150 unterminated processes with
all users having closed their databases, shutdown the computers and
went home.

After I restarted the server yesterday evening, today everything seems
fine - I am constantly monitoring the server (quite difficult with 40
users constantly attaching and detaching from the server...)

I cannot remember, but maybe I _had_ an installation of SS with
guardian before on the same machine. Would that be of matter?
