Begin forwarded message: UC Berkeley has implemented a set of minimum connection standards for all devices attached to the campus network. Many UC campuses (including UCLA) have followed suit. At Berkeley, these standards were rolled out over a 14 month grace period. That grace period has just ended. Nothing in this policy requires permission to receive TCP connections, but it does require that connections be secure. If a device must run an insecure protocol (such as telnet with clear-text passwords), an exception to the policy must be requested. The policy can be found at http://socrates.berkeley.edu:2002/MinStds/(note especially Appendices A & B). This is the only new thing affecting the campus as a whole that I could guess David Reed might be referring to. I have heard that the Computer Science department has a more restrictive policy of requiring registration of all web, email, and ftp servers; otherwise inbound traffic is blocked by their firewall. However, I have not been able to find a reference to this on the department's website. Perhaps it is this departmental policy to which David Reed refers? /Mike ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as lists-ip () insecure org To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
