Crowley's Law. Learn it. Love it. Live it. Michael,
As others have mentioned, if at all possible, this needs to be handled as an HR issue. If you can't fire the guy, suspend him without pay. Assuming of course that there is an acceptable use policy in place. You do have an AUP right? What does it outline as consequences? Use them. Enforce them. -----Original Message----- From: Tom McCarty [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, January 13, 2008 10:44 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: blocking torrent files I like that quote. -----Original Message----- From: Ben Schorr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 14, 2008 1:26 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: blocking torrent files "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems." -Ed- I think you need to have the guy's manager walk into his office, close the door and inform him in no uncertain terms of what the company policy is and what the consequences for violating that policy is. Then when he breaks the policy, fire him. Do you have room in your company for a user you can't trust? Ben M.
