Hi Paul,

Personally, I'm of the opinion that if a person doesn't have admin privs
on a machine, they shouldn't be expect to *cough* /administrate/ it.

I realize that in a school environment it's not that simple (you can't
really stand by while the worm du jour has its way with your campus
network) but really, the student subnets are virtually guaranteed to be
a wasteland of Mad Max-like proportions no matter what you do, no?
Isn't your only real weapon a set of very enthusiastic edge filters?

Cael
