Just pull his port at the switch.. Flip the breaker after hours - assuming it only impacts users gone for the day and logged out. -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Pope [mailto:mpope () istop com] Sent: Monday, March 01, 2004 11:11 PM To: E.

Physically locking one's office (with no key for others) where a PC is powered on and connected to the network is just a tad sub-optimal for network security. E. Jimmy Allotey wrote:
Thanks to all for your help. I have traced it down to a user who has been on study leave since the day after the blaster hit and whose office was locked so the machine could not be disinfected. Thanks for all the constructive advice and suggestions. E.
