If you just leave straight IP connections available in rooms, and people violate the AUP, they can QUITE credibly argue "But I never read this AUP". The web-based DHCP registration system prevents that.Students have an existing legal relationship with the school; they can be required to accept the AUP in writing at some point during the enrollment process. It all comes down to how you view the people on your network--students, faculty, administrators, subscribers, whatever. If they are "customers" you take one set of views and one way of solving problems. If you see them as "lusers", to take another. -- Requiescas in pace o email
