Even University LANs are wide open, just stick your ethernet cable in and you're in business. It's a big security hole that needs to be addressed. Same applies for coffee shop WiFi. They should issue passwords based on supplied ID and accurate logs should be kept... well... accurately... Now the real question is: Do you trust any of these bozos to not fumble and give out the wrong name/ID when authorities come asking for it????

The ports are restricted with macs and only the amount that is needed are active. For instance you might be in a room that has a few ethernet ports here and there but if that room has no school owned computer none will work. Of course though, somebody could just go to a room with school computer and clone the mac of a unit connected to a port. -- Despises SensorTRACS®
