Re: Boot floppy

[Sat Jagat Singh <flyingdervish () yahoo com>]

This should be dealt with through policies and
procedures concerning how systems are managed.  At the
very least, I would address it with the user's direct
supervisor or dept. head.  If IT has no basis in
organizational policy for control over such systems
and the user's own manager won't reign them in, you
have no legal leg on which to stand.  If
organizational policy says that you have the right to
control the config of the machine then, again, you
need to take up your concerns about this user's
behavior with the responsible authority.
