I guess you need to point out to your client that they can either have a
secure system, or run this crap Timberline application. Can't have both.
Maybe you can have a second server to "Quarantine" off the app requiring a
totally insecure server. You may be able to get some more info by setting up
Auditing, & keeping a close eye on the security even log.
