So as we here at Northwestern look ahead to our real and official
ResNet leap, the higher-ups are looking for protection from students
running illegal or "objectionable" services.
My personal opinion is any energy that could be spent policing
prohibitions against student servers could just as well be spent
developing a firm policy of individual responsibility. That said, the
VP's and such would probably prefer to hear that other schools are
already using such policies.
I've looked through the resnet archives and Stanford list of ResNet
servers, and don't see anything that directly addresses this -- can
anyone who has written documents about the issue of student-run
servers for their ResNet project share that info with me? I will
collect answers and summarize to the ResNet list (please let me know
if you'd rather I not repost your message to me...)
Thanks for your help!
Joe
PS I couldn't help but notice that many of the pointers from the
Stanford list of other ResComp/ResNet resources
(http://rescomp.stanford.edu/others.html) point to University-wide
servers instead of ResNet servers; this is kind of confusing...
