- We have a situation at Monash where access to telnet, ftp, etc is prohibited
- from our PC Labs because we cannot guarantee that we can trace who the user is
- (an AARNet requirement apparently). This is a nuisance because it also measn
- barring access to wais, gopher, www, etc which are emerging technologies, and
- which could have interesting implications for distance education and
- resource-based learning.
-
- Are other universities the same? Is this a reasonable policy in the light of
- users on other machines (eg. Unix) being able to forge new items etc even when
- logged in?
