We already have a pre-login message on our systems that basically says:

"You agree to adhere to the acceptable use policy.  You understand that 
anything and everything you do is logged and monitored and by logging into 
this system agree to allow this to occur.  If you don't like this, HR will 
be happy to receive your resignation."

I wonder if that's enough?  Besides our mail gateway and ms-exchange server 
are in Boston, MA, so I guess we aren't exactly in the NSW 
jurisdiction....or are we?

I hate all this legal crap - they're lusers for fsck's sake.  They aren't 
smart enough to know what's best for them....dammit!  They want to send 
porn to their mates and chew vast amounts of bandwidth on non-work related 
crap on MY network and now the government says - sure, that's OK, that's 
why you give them Internet access!?!  Gaddam!!

Rant over.....back to my beer.
