I wouldn't fire an employee for doing that, I'd move them to the IT security department... The problem with blocking them is that more will always pop up, and more ways to get around controles will too. Unless you have a situation where you absolutely have to block, ie, you have users that won't listen to a kind request, ie, school kids, your kids, management, I would not pick blocking as a strategy, instead, tell them that the use of IM services is not allowed on the network, and that infringement will be considered time not spent on business activities, take it off their salaries, they'll stop trying right away. -- Willie Viljoen Freelance IT Consultant 214 Paul Kruger Avenue, Universitas Bloemfontein 9321 South Africa +27 51 522 15 60 +27 51 522 44 36 (after hours) +27 82 404 03 27 (mobile) [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
