Is it really any different than having "root" or "administrator" privileges on the machines? You can read every file they save anyway. If you can't be trusted to use administrative powers to help users and not spy on them, I doubt you will be in that position anyway. Comparing this to cameras in public places is completely off base. Have you read any "Electronic Communication Policy" lately? If you don't own the machine, you don't own what you type or what you save, the company does. If an admin is "spying" on users, then that is an HR issue, not an IT/IS one. -- William Hooper I can see your point, but I still think you're full of it _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
