Can't be done. At least not yet. I am stuck with the desktops they have in place at least until Q2 05. brandon said; ...also put have your client put a policy in place that any non-business related apps will result in getting fired. I am working on crafting this document now. brandon said: As far as the web surfing...put in squid and make people authenticate to the squid then you can run all kinds of reports showing what they have been surfing. Before she can monitor any of these things legally they must make everyone sign some type of policy that states that they can monitor everything employees do, otherwise they are could get sued for evation of privacy. Are you sure about that? I have to check with my attorney but I was fairly certain that, at least for web surfing, the Intenet connection is a company resource and usage of that resource can be controlled by the company. As far as desktops I was also under the impression that since these were company resources there was no "right to privacy" on a device which was not owned by the user. I was under the impression that most of the documents you are made to sign were just "double-plus CYA" types of things. I like the authenticated squid server, though. -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
