PSA for those coming to the University...

<p>Before you connect to the ResNET (Univ. network), please Disable File and Printer Sharing.</p>

<p>I was just taking a look at My Network Places this evening, and managed to see the entire contents of at least 5 persons’ hard drives, with full read and write access. What does that mean to you? </p>

<p>If I was a real jerk, I could trash these people’s hard drives. Instead, I’m leaving a text file on their Hard Drives with a message to disable File and Printer Sharing. OIT has a bunch of reminders and checklists for what to do when coming onto the Network, so I would suggest you guys read up on them.</p>

<p>Whoa BigJ - great advice - who needs hackers when we just throw it all out there ourselves! </p>

<p>My Mom said the OIT presentation at orientatin was really good - and they threw in an “ad” that they’re hiring - maybe you should apply - sounds like you could be running the place!</p>
