As others have suggested you had better have a good look at your employment agreement and the company's policy documents. It may be that they have a policy which states that they can "spy" on you and an attempt by you to block that could be grounds for termination of your employment and possible prosecution for misuse of company assets. It is not uncommon for employers to watch their employee's web access, email and other use of IT resources to ensure they are being used for company business and not personal activities or ones that may be in opposition to the company's goals. If everyone would play by the rules, this wouldn't be necessary, but I know of several people who have been let go because they spent all day in chat rooms or online poker tournaments. One was sacked because she was releasing confidential accounting data to a competitor. She's also in jail now for fraud, embezzlement, industrial espionage and perjury. Businesses have the right to limit your access to their assets. You might not like it and it's a sad commentary on society, but that's the real world. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, C2 Hosting ricks@xxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Jimmie crack corn and I don't care...what kind of lousy attitude - - is THAT to have, huh? -- Dennis Miller - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
