I find it interesting that at "BigCorp2(tm)" the policy is basically, do whatever on your computer as long as: you aren't abusing the resources to prevent the company's real business from happening, it isn't hindering your job performance, and you don't cause sexual harrassment problems. The first would be obviously violated by saturating the network, although I doubt any individual is doing it. I haven't heard of it being a problem, though. The job performance might be an issue, although I think that is more just an issue of people not distinguishing between browsing the web occasionally to take a break, and spending all day day-trading. The last would definitely be an issue of people viewing porn in publically visible places. I personally would prefer to work somewhere that trusts its employees to be sane, and then deals with the minority who are not that treats everybody as if they have no common sense. I guess it depends a lot on what kind of work is being done. David -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
