RE: Technical and Philosophy

We also try to keep people from using terminals, yes we still have some
of them as well as terminal emulators, that are located in areas outside
of their department.  You would be surprised what people try to sneak
and do in a printer room behind a closed door.  And for that remote
access, I use my BB with a named device for that emergency when I do not
have access to my laptop or can find an internet connection.  Most
access violations are done by someone in department A going to another
department's computer after hours when no one is around.  Usually trying
to get into someone personnel records that they do not supervise.

We have recently upgraded to Windows 2003 Active Directory and have
almost finished getting rid of Win98 for XP.  Then we will restrict what
PC's users can log on to which will help when we get rid of 5250 for
HTTP.  I love security, it keeps me employed.

A BIG thank you to all of you crackers out there.  :<))

Hi Chris

I just found that doing remote support and having to specify a named 
device made things more difficult without adding any value that I could
see.
