We have a situation at Monash where access to telnet, ftp, etc is prohibited from our PC Labs because we cannot guarantee that we can trace who the user is (an AARNet requirement apparently). This is a nuisance because it also measn barring access to wais, gopher, www, etc which are emerging technologies, and which could have interesting implications for distance education and resource-based learning. Are other universities the same? Is this a reasonable policy in the light of users on other machines (eg. Unix) being able to forge new items etc even when logged in?
