We have a lab of PC&Macs behind a locked door, with Operator cover (mainly
there to take the money you understand...) and every user shows ID before
sitting down.

Whilst we don't let them off campus, we sometimes think this lab is probably
more trustable than some staff PC's behind closed doors, and beats terminal
servers (unsecured, that is) hands down. Of course its fascist, and scales
terribly.

There ain't one model that applies network-wide. Dat's the story of Networks
innit?
