Why doesn't anyone ever write to the bosses explaining that the IT people don't know their business? There needs to be some pressure on these people to become more expert or get fired. If DAV is both more secure and allows the the Mac workforce to do their own jobs, it's in the company's interest to have IT people who keep up with things rather than arbitrarily just do things that make their own jobs easy at the expense of the company. I've never worked in a large company, so I'm just talking through my hat, but it seems to me from the stories I read that people succumb to mindless IT dictatorship far too easily. Bosses may not know anything about IT, but they usually care about the company's security and _something_ for the well-being of their staff. If the IT people are being inflexible, first talk to the top IT guy, and if that doesn't help, to his boss, or better yet a higher boss near the top.
