Explanation (?): |
This NT LM Security Support Provider service provides support to optional components such as the telnet server, an SQL database server or message queuing. This service uses communication methods other than named pipes. If you are not familar with named pipes then they are a first-in first-out (FIFO) communication system that allows unrelated programs to communicate in unique ways. This service handles other forms of communication though, such as predefined systems. Since this is the NT LAN manager security support provider it uses Windows based communication systems such as LM, NTLM, NTLMv2 and Kerberos to communicate. This service should be left to manual as it only runs when it is needed. |

"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both. And be one traveler, long I stood. And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair. And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that, the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay. In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: two roads diverged in a wood, and I -- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference." -- Robert Frost: Road Not Taken (1962) |
