We are also looking into creating a security policy for our college. I would be interested in seeing how others are going about forming their's. The big issues we have are the future implementation of a firewall, the ability for users to install/remove software from workstations, passwords and remote access to electronic resources (i.e. use of VPNs). Our main goal is to layout a general plan of what we want to do, without being to specific, that way we can use it as a guide and also to back up our decisions. ________________________________________________ Stephen Bogdanski Network Support, MSU-CVM Michigan State University [log in to unmask] A227 VetMed Center Phone: (517) 353-5551 East Lansing, MI 48824 Fax: (517) 432-2937 >>> Oscar Castaneda <[log in to unmask]> 03/17/04 05:32PM >>> Jim, We are in the process of writing a document, or a series of documents on that line.
