I think that all has to do with WHO the guest is, and WHY they plugged in. My network (and building) is normally closed to the public, but when we have clients in, and they bring their laptops, I generally allow them access to use printers, or gain internet access. But then, this is something that I plan to offer, so I actually have DHCP services specifically for this (and keep the rest of the network locked down to prevent them from wandering). So maybe I'm not as closed as you are. BUT... even with my plans for outside people to be able to plug in... if somebody walked in off the street, and tried to do the same... I would NOT be happy and would promptly escort them out of the building (and depending on what I thought they were up to... would probably call the local PD to file a report against them). -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>
