Re: Wireless Security

[Kenton Smith <listsks () yahoo ca>]

These are all legal questions for which the answers
are going to vary widely. My opinion, however, is that
if you are going to setup an unprotected network, you
should expect people to at least stumble on it, not to
mention poke around on the machines. A wireless
network should never be setup without using at least
the minimum security tools available in the access
point. If you've made at least a basic attempt to
secure it, you will have a much better standing if you
ever want to take action against someone who uses it
without permission.
