You will have no argument from me: the NCC sent to General Counsel a rewrite of the AUP in April 2005...we are still waiting for an answer! -----Original Message----- From: MSU Network Administrators Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Surato, Michael S.

One could argue (not that I agree), that this type of message is counter to the current AUP (which has been out-of-date for 10 years). +-------------------------------------------+ | Michael Surato | | College of Arts and Letters | | Michigan State University | | 320 Linton Hall | | East Lansing, MI 48824 | | Voice: (517) 353-0778 Fax: (517) 355-0159 | +-------------------------------------------+ -----Original Message----- From: MSU Network Administrators Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Lounds, Victor Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2007 11:07 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [MSUNAG] Disclaimer Messages I'll try to keep this message short, sweet and coherent. Is there any type of template that MSU uses as a disclaimer message for all workstations/servers that are owned by MSU? In corporate world typically when you log onto a computer there is a logon banner message which basically says... "this computer is owned by Michigan State University, blah blah blah, don't do bad stuff, blah blah blah"...? Considering that this campus is a supporter of "academic freedom" I know this could be a touchy subject :-), but at the same time I don't want a hacker to "own" the computer or the data that he or she could be storing on it. This might even be a question to post to the lawyers. Doug suggested that I ask around so this is probably a good start. VL
