1) Universities tend toward maximum freedom of usage, even if the "feature" is actually hazardous. 2) If you disable something on a machine that you don't own, you're likely to get all sorts of grief. Most machines in university environments are owned by individuals. 3) Somewhere in the process of getting a PhD, most faculty members seem to have been given a golden God card that says they can do anything they want, no matter how stupid. If you prevent them from using Skydrive, they will call your manager, call the dean, and call everyone they can find to make your life miserable.

"with an articulated security stance" rarely = university. Universities block things they get sued about. No further, unless you wish to experience #3 above. _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
