One thing I find interesting is the fact that only one person is objecting to this. Even completely reasonably policies are often complained about by everybody. If only one person is objecting, there is obviously something very particular to that one person that makes them object. Is it because they are doing something unusual, or they are more experienced with computers -- or is it because they just like complaining? I've learned that some people just are not happy unless they are making somebody else unhappy. Is this one of those cases, or is this user voicing legitimate concerns? You might also point out to the user that it is a question of responsibility. IT is responsible for planning, implementing, and maintaining things. If someone needs an answer about computers, they go to IT. And, when things go wrong, IT is held accountable. In order to do your job, and take that responsibility, you have to know what is going on. I somehow doubt this user is willing to take the blame for everything that goes wrong with the network. As for the rest of it, we all know why security, configuration management, etc., are important. I'm sure you can provide the user with a list. :) -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
