Re: [Micronet] Printer spam.....
Thanks for doing the research for these options and testing them. I have to admit that I was at a bit of a loss reading the security.berkeley.edu site about all the best practices, and having no idea about how to approach it. Between this and the OS updates, I feel pretty overwhelmed so I'm ever grateful for the information.

Re: [Micronet] Neo-Nazi Printer Spam
John, A user here received the same message. I tried to employ disabling Telnet and FTP which worked on the other printers; features that were discussed back during the holidays when printers campus wide were being "attacked", but for some reason the IPs for these printers (HP Laserjet 400) didn't allow it. If you haven't disabled Telnet and FTP, I would do that to see if that will stop future attacks.

[Micronet] Forwarding mechanism for a defunct mail server
We had a mail server that also contained data on it that we finally retired. It was a Linux/Unix machine and the sys admin for it retired. For the most part we were able to get people to stop using it as a mail server years ago to use @berkeley.edu, but no sooner than when we disconnected this server from the network than there was one faculty member who wants to put in place a forwarding mechanism as some of his papers etc. had references to it (don't get me started on why he didn't change over to @ berkeley.edu) and he can't notify or change every reference to it. There is no one here who knows Linux/Unix and the computer is out of date and sets off alerts with security@berkeley. I don't want to keep it alive for this one purpose, however, I don't know how I can forward an email addressed to an @soe.berkeley.edu to an @berkeley.edu or even have a "vacation" message of sorts in place to say the other address is no longer valid without putting that server back on the network. Does anyone know of a way or knows if there is a campus "service" that will "masquerade" as the @soe.berkeley.edu server and perform this forwarding? Thanks for any suggestions.

Re: [Micronet] Another non-berkeley.edu mailing, this time from UCRS
Nils, I agree with you. I as well as a couple of other users deleted this message because it was extremely vague and I also mistakenly told people to delete it as well. Given all the rules we're supposed to abide by and that should assist us in not only recognizing, but teaching users how to recognize SPAM or phishing emails, these emails make it really difficult to educate people. Luckily, you took the time to email cons...@berkeley.edu, but is it realistic to instruct people to email consult@berkeley every time a confusing email like this one comes through? I would think that would inundate consult@berkeley. Bottom line, I'm concerned that I'm misleading people with my confusion.

[Micronet] Setting up Apple TV on the campus network
I have Apple TVs that need to be set up on the campus network and I have to admit that I have no experience in how to do that (I live on just basic cable and a cable box at home -- does that make me a TV luddite of sorts?). We have LCD monitors that we'd like to connect to as well as HDMI cables, but I didn't know how to register them (no ethernet ID on boxes) and when I tried connecting them to the LCDs, nothing came up and I tried all of the HDMI options offered by the set up on the LCDs. Should it be the PC option? I admit I haven't tried that yet. I know I'm missing something obvious. Any assistance is appreciated. Oh, by the way, thanks for all of the options everyone emailed about a user's AirBears2 problem. Unfortunately nothing worked. I will try to contact Gary and maybe connect him to the user as I've run out of ideas of things to try.

Re: [Micronet] Laptops as primary computer
Adam, Thanks for all this great information. From the sounds of the responses I've received I'm in a bit of uncharted territory so all the information I've gotten has been helpful in getting me pointed in some direction whereas before I wasn't sure what the right things to do were. I'll investigate the insurance angle with our business office people to see what's involved with that as well as create a liability agreement. We sort of already have one for the projectors and digital cameras that we loan out to students to present and record their teaching so it might need a bit more tweaking to fit the laptop parameters. My curiosity is definitely peaked about Find My Mac and maybe utilizing it as a way to erase data remotely when necessary. I already have my own personal account associated with my @berkeley.edu email address (this was back in the day when setting up Apple ID accounts was by email address and it was the only one I had -- I hadn't joined the Google bandwagon yet) so I'd probably have to create another one. I understand what you mean about a shared Apple ID, for example, I was thinking about using our departmental account gseem...@berkeley.edu, but it is shared by another colleague as it is our unit email address. The quandary is that it would be prudent to share the Apple ID in case something happens to me or I retire and that way my colleague could continue to monitor so I'm hoping that it would be okay to use that. Last question, if I were to buy these laptops through CSS procurement, I am assuming that they would have the Casper image, TEM and Druva (I'm hoping this will achieve the necessary backup process needed as we don't have a way to do over the net backups here) as well. Are there any protections that CSS would provide or would that security aspect (specifically a Find My Mac-like system, not the cables and docks) be localized to us? Thanks for your understanding and help about these questions. I want to do best practices as much as possible upfront, but acknowledge I may need to fill in gaps or adjust procedures and set ups as needed. I welcome others on Micronet to continue chiming in. I appreciate all of the feedback.

In terms of your questions about theft, find my Apple, etc: *Campus liability document?* I do not believe so. Or at the very least, I have not encountered such a thing across the many laptops I've deployed across multiple buildings and departments. *Laptop Insurance?* That's entirely up to you. These things do get stolen. I had a client just this week have her laptop swiped off a coffee table in a coffee shop in SF WHILE actively working on it. I kid you not. *Find My Mac Apple IDs?*: There is indeed a Find my iPhone feature for macs. It does require an Apple ID. My Zone within CSS-IT (and sorta CSS-IT in general) discourages a shared Apple ID. Mainly because if someone changes the password, it breaks ALL of them. Bad news. Instead, my Zone (and again, sorta CSS-IT) instead advises creating a personal Apple ID with your Berkeley Email. You can actually create one without a credit card too. (I can go into that more, if you like) From there, just login and turn it on. *Other Security?*: If you're feeling uneasy, I highly suggest turning on Filevault. Especially if you are dealing with sensitive data. When you turn it on, be sure to document all the passwords and such, otherwise you will be profoundly screwed if/when something does wrong. Still, it's built-in HDD encryption. I also suggest, if possible, keeping a small inventory of the apple laptops in your possession. Make / Model / Serial. That way if it gets stolen, you have something to give to the police. I hope that helps.

[Micronet] Laptops as primary computer
As always, please bear with the lengthy and likely extraneous explanation: We are noticing a trend among staff requesting laptops with external monitors for use as their primary computer versus the standard desktop. They are attending more meetings and instead of taking notes and transcribing them when they get back to their offices, they want to be able to type everything then and there. We don't have a budget for letting them have both a desktop and a laptop, but understand the need that the laptop would fulfill. My thoughts stray to the good old days of docking stations. I forgot the Apple laptop that had that available. So I guess this is really something whose time has finally come for us. However, I know that there are a LOT of things to consider like from a security standpoint, liability issues, insurance etc. I've listed the kinds of questions I'm wrestling with (and if anyone has other things I need to think about, please do mention them if I haven't considered them or have forgotten to mention them here) and I want to tap anyone who might have already gone through this kind of process and what steps did you take to ensure some of the dangerous ground that we'll be treading. I have considered some of the security issues such as logging into the computer both when turning on the computer as well as when it sleeps, locking them away in locked drawers or locked offices when leaving the office or use a cable lock to secure them to the desks, creating an admin account for me as IT (to control installs etc.), a standard login for the user (we already do this with the desktops to meet campus security standards), and considering the potential for someone taking the laptop home and needing VPN to access online services, Here are questions I don't have an answer to and would love to have some guidance on. Have any of you or does campus have liability document that the user has to sign for situations of loss, destruction or theft? Should we insure these laptops for replacement in case of loss, destruction or theft? Is there a way to implement Find My Mac (forgot to mention that they will be Macbook Pros) on the laptops to track lost laptops and erase data remotely? If so, would I have to use my personal Apple ID account or can I create a departmental one with an iCloud account that would give me this ability? This is a really big step and I want to make sure I cover all of the specific pitfalls and security measures for going this route and I realize that I'm probably not thinking about how to cover every consequence. Any help or suggestions are welcome and as always appreciated.

You can't change what happened but you can make sure it doesn't have the power to prevent you from being happy tomorrow. -Paul Boese “Kind words do not cost much yet they accomplish much.” -Blaise Pascal *** - The following was automatically added to this message by the list server: To learn more about Micronet, including how to subscribe to or unsubscribe from its mailing list and how to find out about upcoming meetings, please visit the Micronet Web site: http://micronet.berkeley.edu Messages you send to this mailing list are public and world-viewable, and the list's archives can be browsed and searched on the Internet.
