A K-12 school that we have had some associations with has cut off internet access completely for their students a year or two ago when one of them sent a death threat email to the president. Someone from the feds (FBI, Secret Service, CIA, one of the letter agencies) showed up and many people feared. The above mentioned restrictions would be great selling points to school administrators. rob -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Searchable archive at http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org
