That must have changed over the years. When had an application development contract for UNF's Railroad Institute, part of the continuing education back in 04-05. They had a dedicated admin and servers at least for continuing education. The admin and servers were located in a room on the second floor just above the conference rooms the Florida Linus Show was held in. All windows servers, and even worse. At the time everything on their network had public IP addresses and was mostly wide open, exposed, with some common ports filtered off. That included teachers computers, and just about all. The reasoning at the time was a teacher might install some software and it need ports open. So they just leave it all open, and lock things down from there or something. I really did not like that approach at all, but had no effect on the application I was developing for them. Not sure if the Railroad Institute remains, doesn't seem to be part of continuing education offerings, unless its buried. http://www.unf.edu/ce/ Likely other changes since as well, including outsourcing.... Hopefully outsourced locally, and not to India ;) -- William L.
