I don't think you can do anything to prevent the socket server from
firing up your application server.  But you can prevent anyone from
accessing data in the database your application server connects to
either at the database itself, or by writing an app. server OnLogin
event handler.

It's much simpler to use the security provisions of your DBMS.  For
example, MS SQL Server has the ability to set permissions for everything
you can think of and then some.

Also, it's possible to exclude undesirables from even connecting to you
file server.  The NT server operating system, for example, is chock full
of security features, as I'm sure other operating systems are.

Regards,
John
