@Ben My rule of thumb is that if you randomly select a computer on campus (lab/office/laptop/dorm/whatever) you have about a 50% chance of finding porn. I find it to be a comforting base assumption. :)
Our ResTek group has a person dedicated to handling DMCA notices. On the campus side, one of our telecom guys probably spends 30% of his day dealing with the things.
@packs The ResTek workload includes the "talking to students" part, which is a good chunk of the time. We're building automated systems for tracking things as we speak. We'll be NAC-ing our WLAN soon, which'll help identify the torrenters.
@packs Probably.
Or problem is 'legal torrents' and how to handle them.
@sysadmin1138 We've been using a captive portal login wall for wireless for a long time, which helps with the identification, but also have an automated switch port disable system that helps with the wired. We let them call us :)
@packs We've had a captive portal on the WLAN side for ages. There is some technicality I'm not understanding that's making it less useful than it sounds.
@Ben Although I did administratively thump a few people for serving obviously downloaded movie files from their /public_html directories.
@packs Our Wireless is in such a mess right now due to a transition between WLAN directors. The old one, bluesocket, can't keep up with the load, and the new one is throwing enough tempter tantrums that no one except the WLAN engineers knows what's going on where, with what, and in which rooms.
The worst problem, seemingly solved for the moment, was that the captive portal was taking 2 minutes to log people in.
802.11x deployments sometimes feel more like a game of chess... or maybe snap... with various server components than a nice disciplined product rollout
@Chopper3 - based on your comment about how you like your autos, are you actually Jeremy Clarkson? Or do you just play him on the interwebs?
Anyone here experienced with DFS design? I see posts everywhere about people using their DC's as namespace servers.. is there anything wrong with using file servers as the namespace servers?
Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to get a SBS 2003 running on the Amazon EC2? I've searched for images but the closest I could find is 'datacenter edition' and 'sqlexpress'
We should have a charity bin, all rep limited rep goes into a bucket and the top 10-20 users give a dollar or something to charity of that amount per year?
Back in my day, the only medicine you were ever given was measured in shots or fifths... that is if you could fight your way through the starving tigers.
