I would like to advise any educational institution on this list to have a close look at this new Pop-up GUI "feature". In my opinion it is a very bad "feature" for "hostile" environments like kiosk locations, classrooms and libraries. Since I believe most Sun Rays are placed in this kind of environments I would advice all of you to inform Sun about how this would effect your upgrade cost. I was told by Sun that you have to visit every SunRay to set the password on this Pop-up GUI or leave the configuration unlocked. I think this will dramatically increase the cost of upgrading or administration......
Please inform Sun about your thoughts on this.

Wow! What a security "feature"! If this will be the same in the released
version I'll have to stay with older SRSS and firmware as long as possible and plan on migrating my SunRays ASAP to PCs or some other ThinClients, but
ones which have no <Please change my configuration> "feature".
I really can't understand why anyone would render SunRays useless
with such a silly "feature"!


Like OttoM said yesterday, just complaining to this list about it does
little good.  Complaining to the beta aliases would be much more likely
to have the effect you want - of changing this behavior before the
product is officially released.
