Outside of a few public-access machines in the library, labs here require a login. Most of that is done via AD. - ken Boaz Gelbord wrote:
Dear all, I would be interested in knowing how many institutions have student labs with open access versus forcing users to login. At the New School we have open labs in which students need to identify themselves at the front desk but can then just sit in front of a terminal and work without logging in (we also have some public terminals in the cafeteria and elsewhere where no ID is required). These machines are locked down so that students have no administrative privileges. Forcing users to login at the labs would be a technical challenge and create extra work for our helpdesk but would help us track down users who violate our policies or in case of an incident. If you would like to answer me off the list I can aggregate the answers and send out a summary. Thanks and happy holidays- Boaz.
