I think a lot would depend on company policy. I've worked in places where there were strict policies against installing non-vetted software anywhere. The software sources had to be approved by infosec and legal. In that situation, where there is an established policy, I think that firing would be both justified and expected. In the absence of such a policy, however, I think that firing for a first offense would be a bit harsh. -Rich _______________________________________________ bblisa mailing list [email protected] http://www.bblisa.org/mailman/listinfo/bblisa
