Then don't "cram it down their throats". Inform them of the policies, ask them to be aware of the consequences of not following the policies, and give them an option to challenge the policies in a transparent process. It is possible to create and enforce policies unilaterally without turning your company into a police-state. -- Perfection is just a word I use occasionally with mustard. --Atom Powers-- _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lopsa.org http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
