This has been an interesting topic for me for quite some time, I have worked at several places where the AUP, pretty much said if it doesn't have anything to do with your job, you better not be caught on the site.

While I do agree that people doing other things at work, is counter productive. There are bigger things that should be thought of when you see that log that says, all the things that people are doing to get around.

I would personally think, that the important thing would, not be how much someone trys but if they actually succeed. This is kind of off topic but, I just see that if you are a corporation and have so many users trying to access off Network places, i.e. Ebay and other sites. Then maybe there should be a small clause in the AUP, for such acts.

Tiger I understand your side, (Damnit your here to work, and work you shall.) The issue I am wondering is, is it truly intelligent to limit access to business projects only. I mean think about it, what does it hurt for someone to use the companies equipment to check there real estate business. Though I understand it is not what she is there for it, still dawns upon me that if there were a small clause to include. Something like.

"While, the connection and access that you are given here is, meant to be used, for company work, you are given small leeway(sp) to do other things, these include but, are not limited to, checking the weather, checking your off network email account. Things that will not be tolerated and will result in immediadate displinary actions are, being caught on pr0n sites, (add whatever the hell else.)"

Oh well just my thought on the entire thing, though I find the gvt. thing really funny, because TH13, the office and area you work in that is the policy but with my Gvt. experience, that is not the case, and probably won't be for a very long time. Main reason is, it just tends to be the case the Users are really idiots, I have seen users that don't know how to turn a computer on. (I am serious, the dumbass woman didn't have any idea how to turn it on.)

Oh well...

I would love to see that policy started and run on military servers, or networks. I don't think there is a chance in hell, that will fly.
