2014-05-28 20:28:34 --> zacts- (~zacts@freebsd/geek/zacts) has joined #fsf 2014-05-28 20:28:42 zacts- so check this out.. 2014-05-28 20:29:17 zacts- my university network will in the near future force students to download proprietary network and file sharing monitoring apps to even access the public wifi 2014-05-28 20:29:38 zacts- the app will check for 'virus scanners', and monitor all activity on your computer basically 2014-05-28 20:29:53 zacts- this will disallow any other OS besides m$ and apple 2014-05-28 20:30:17 zacts- including Gnu/Linux / FreeBSD / etc.. 2014-05-28 20:30:25 robmyers yikes 2014-05-28 20:30:25 zacts- I don't know how to properly complain 2014-05-28 20:30:30 robmyers that sounds insecure and costly 2014-05-28 20:30:32 zacts- let me pastebin this 2014-05-28 20:30:37 zacts- http://nopaste.info/35756b723e_nl.html 2014-05-28 20:31:00 zacts- I had to spoof my useragent today to even use firefox on port 80, but it will soon get worse. 2014-05-28 20:31:27 zacts- especially note the Software needed to ensure a secure environment will include: 2014-05-28 20:31:30 zacts- section 2014-05-28 20:32:13 robmyers "Setting up your own server" can lead to criminal charges? I think they've been fed idiot boilerplate by lawyers. Point out how it will impact comp.sci and web design (etc.) courses. 2014-05-28 20:32:55 robmyers I'd ping the EFF about this as well. It's creepy and excessive. 2014-05-28 20:33:31 sea zacts-: Just ignore it, there's no way they're gonna do any of tha 2014-05-28 20:34:43 marktraceur zacts-: I had the same issue at my school, they folded when I asked them to let GNU/Linux clients through untouched 2014-05-28 20:39:47 RISCi_ATOM zacts-: That is when I'd be looking for another school or a way around. 2014-05-28 20:40:10 robmyers That kind of AUP is generally copypasta, so other schools will no doubt be using it. 2014-05-28 20:40:26 marktraceur zacts-: It comes down to them obstructing your work, so tell them that and they'll crumble 2014-05-28 20:41:10 RISCi_ATOM marktraceur: I doubt it. 2014-05-28 20:41:24 RISCi_ATOM zacts-: What school is this ? 2014-05-28 20:44:30 marktraceur Favourite part: "This prohibition includes any use of hubs and/or switches which would permit the user to...share the port with...herself/himself." 2014-05-28 20:47:43 pehjota Hmm, my university prohibited the use of switches and recommended routers instead, because of the limited number of available IP addresses. But this doesn't say whether it forbids or allows routers – it can be read either way. 2014-05-28 20:49:44 RISCi_ATOM zacts-: Sue them for false adversing ! Setting up any type of information server such as a web, gopher, e-mail <- This is what the internet is about ;) 2014-05-28 20:50:30 pehjota Oh nevermind, "Setting up a router and building a private subnet" is prohibited further up. What the hell? How can CS students run their multiple computers (I once had three in my dorm, partly because of a project) and work on their networking projects (e.g. writing client/server programs for a course)? 2014-05-28 20:51:20 RISCi_ATOM I think I found it (maybe) http://www.eiu.edu/its/security/policies/resaup.htm 2014-05-28 20:52:03 pehjota "Copyrighted files and software cannot be shared over the Campus Network." *cough* 2014-05-28 20:52:43 RISCi_ATOM pehjota: As soon as you go to google or any site, you have violated that policy ;) 2014-05-28 20:52:56 pehjota RISCi_ATOM: True. :) 2014-05-28 20:55:53 <-- zacts- (~zacts@freebsd/geek/zacts) has quit (Ping timeout: 255 seconds) 2014-05-28 20:56:48 RISCi_ATOM Wait, did I get zacts- kicked from their network ? 2014-05-28 20:57:03 pehjota Heh 2014-05-28 20:57:17 RISCi_ATOM Maybe talking about the policy is against another policy. 2014-05-28 20:57:38 pehjota This basically prohibits students from working on group projects (almost everything is automatically copyrighted, so students aren't allowed to even share their project files), working on computer networking course assignments, developing an OS or distribution for a course, etc. 2014-05-28 20:58:16 RISCi_ATOM pehjota: Maybe it is not really an accredited school ? 2014-05-28 20:59:12 pehjota RISCi_ATOM: I have to wonder if they even have a CS program, or any courses on computer networking. 2014-05-28 21:05:09 <-- RISCi_ATOM (~risci_ato@fsf/intern-emeritus/risci-atom) has quit (Quit: Leaving.) 2014-05-28 21:08:12 --> zacts (~zacts@freebsd/geek/zacts) has joined #fsf 2014-05-28 21:08:20 zacts hey missed the backlog 2014-05-28 21:08:25 zacts it's @ http://it.unm.edu
