From: Chris Berry [mailto:compjma@xxxxxxxxxxx]From: "Durbin, Jeff" <jdurbin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> I've been hired to migrate the company to AD and Exchange 2000. Yes, I'm working on a client's system. Yes, the employees are downloading porn. I've been asked by the network administrator for advice on how to eliminate the users-downloading-porn problem. I don't have the power to fire anyone (nor does the network manager).
Three big questions:
1) Is there any budget available for this or does it have to be free? 2) Are Linux solutions acceptable? 3) Can it be per machine, or does it have to be by AD or some other identifier such as a password?
From: "Durbin, Jeff" <jdurbin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 1. There is not budget, but that doesn't mean they won't find some money if it's required to solve the problem.
2. I've finished the AD/Exchange project that raised the issue, so fixing the problem is really off my plate for now, although they may hire us to implement a solution. If it does fall to the network admin, he doesn't know much about Linux. So, the answer is 'maybe'.
3. It would be preferable to have it work per user, but by machine would probably acceptable, as that's how it was done in the past.
