I would refer the matter to the Dean's Office. We have a good working relationship with our Deans. And if you don't already have a policy about this sort of thing, you might want to consider that for the future. Connie J.

Recently we had an adventurous student who decided that he would try some common web based exploits against our intranet website (which is available on the internet). He came to us and informed us what he found. Through the conversation, it was revealed that this action was intentional. He was let off knowing that we had other options but were not going to pursue them. That was with the understanding that he would not continue his activities. Well, activities, though different now, continue. These second activities apparently caused an outage of a public website. How are these type of situations handled at your university? These things tend to depend on the specifics of the situation and I intentionally left a lot of them out. Benji --- Benji Spencer System Administrator Ph: 312-329-2288
