question about privacy and keylogging

The logs are not created by sysadmins to spy on you.

While true, they will be suspicious if *something* happens on the school server and your bash history *happens* to be gone. This happened to me once. Someone wrote a perl script which basically created a monstrous file by recursively adding itself... to itself... in multiple threads.

So after this all happens, the sysadmin looks into it, and sees that everything appears to be intact, except one of the scsi drives on the RAID array is down, and one of the students bash history files is gone. And he had the nerve to blame me.

Well... this time he was right.

BUT THAT'S BESIDE THE POINT!

Point is, if it's in the AUP, you lose. If not, what are you worried about? I know it goes against the whole "invasion of privacy" and all, but you realize... if you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to worry about....

well i agree with embro1001

the admins wants to keep a track of who is doing what , and if somr thing goes wrong ,it will be hardly a matter of minites untill he is caught,so think there is no need to panic!
