Speaking of screensavers and autolocking. We had an incident where the FBI (I even got called by an agent from the KC field office...) identified we had a computer on campus that was distributing child pornography.
It was traced to a professor's computer. Which was surprising, because he was such a respected person. They then found out that it was actually one of the night janitors that was doing it. Because the professor didn't lock his computer when he wasn't there..... On 5/15/2011 4:16 PM, Lawrence K.
