- Gentle folk,
-
- It is my understanding that there is a general policy to discourage
- the connection of network devices like terminal servers which
- do not include some form of login authentication or other means
- of accountability.
-
- Can anyone point me to any documents which formalize this restriction?
- While the need for such a policy is painfully clear to me,
- it is not so obvious to others.
-
- Please send explicit references to one of my e'mail addresses below.
- I'll post a summary.
-
- Thanks,
-
- Selden E. Ball, Jr.
