Hi,

     From the student's point of view, and as a student myself, cutting of 
internet access totally is very restrictive, and more harmful than having 
unmetered access. In this era of internet, its use and mis-use is one's one 
responsibility. I think that monitoring the system's activity remotely using 
VNC, or logging internet usage would be a good idea, as the concept of logging 
and monitoring deters much unwanted behavior. I would also suggest using a DNS 
based blocking system, like openDNS.


P.S: Remember, Linux is not Windows, and users are not supposed to be logged in 
as root, and student's do not need sudo privileges normally.


 With Regards,
