I don't think that's called for, Justin. We do not do any such auditing. Certainly we do not systematically look for people who are on vacation or sick leave who are accessing our systems. We log VPN access, of course, and do normal system logging of logins and logouts but we only typically review that information in response to investigations. We have never made any effort to see see if people are accessing restricted systems when they are on sick leave or vacation.
