No matter how savvy your users are, they all understand what it means when you say "All proprietary information on laptops must be encrypted." And they all know that has implications for the way they work. So even my less savvy users were able to participate in the conversations, to address concerns about how they'll complete their work with new policies in place. And when you create the policy that users cannot share passwords with each other, the less savvy people are still able to ask the question, "What about wifi?" and "What about that shared email box where we receive job applicants' resumes?" And then you realize your original rule would have been unacceptable, because there's an exception you didn't think of. So you have to find a solution which is acceptable for both sides. _______________________________________________ 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/
