User's manager: Why can't you read your mail or write code? Now, *why* was your unix account blocked? Why did you do *that*? After I make systems fairly secure, I do not hesistate to warn users if they interfere with others. I raraly hesistate in cutting accounts off after warnings. I warn for things like filling /tmp when you vi a 100M application dumo file. I block for things like demonstrably(sp?) injuring others. As I usually log info (ls of dir, clip log msgs, etc...), I usually get cooperation from management. It has also assisted them in gathering enough records to remove such folks from the payroll - they are usually problem folks in other areas as well.
