I just don't understand the problem here. If a company spends the large amount of money necessary to install and mantain a network, why is it so controversial that they monitor it to ensure it is being used for proper purposes?
Having spent the majority of my adult career on military installations, I am used to the idea of having all of my network activities monitored and faced a "Consent To Monitoring" noticed at every logon. And having been the IS manager for a large corporation, I have monitored incoming and outgoing email as well as the surfing habits of employees (yes they knew, we also used a "Consent To Monitoring" notice at logon) to ensure they complied with company policy and procedure.
I have always told my users that if they won't put it on a postcard and drop it in a mailbox, don't put it in an email.
What is the hoopla about? Doesn't this follow the same general idea of Admins using cracker programs to ensure their users comply w/password policies?
