As a response to someone else's cmts, the set of kids who knows how they're being blocked is a small subset of all kids, and those who know that a MAC address can be forged is a small subset of the previous. And *then* they'd have to find out a valid MAC address.
all it takes is one kid, who then shares his 'trick' with other kids, and blam.
On top of that, it would seem to me that the ones for whom you have a registered MAC address is either hardwired, and so on, permanently, or the teachers and staff are in before the students, mostly, and so when a student tries to spoof the MAC, they get refused, since the real system already has the IP address.
that presumes all the reserved systems are on 24/7. -- john r pierce, recycling bits in santa cruz _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
