Is there a way to prevent a user from renaming an AppleTalk ImageWriter and/or LaserWriter? I am in a lab situation where we would like to prevent malicious users with "The Namer" from renaming our print stations. Also - This may sound REALLY strange, but we have an AppleTalker ImageWriter II that hisses. Yes, that's right. I haven't taken it to my dealer yet or opened it up. It periodically makes a hissing sound, EXACTLY like leaking air. Any ideas? PLEASE e-mail. Thanks, David Pakman +------------------------------------------------------------------+ \ -David Pakman | "Help me, help me, / / Apple Student Rep | I been hyp-no-tized" \ \ ARPA: pakman@scrolls.wharton.upenn.edu | / / AppleLink: ST0338 | -David Letterman \ +------------------------------------------------------------------+

That hasn't happened here, but if it did our solution would be simple: Suspend The Student's Account. Our file server keeps track of who runs what software and we would be able to tell who did the deed. We suspend accounts regularly for student indiscretions.... -- Peter Steele, Microcomputer Applications Analyst Acadia University, Wolfville, NS, Canada B0P1X0 (902)542-2201x121 UUCP: {uunet|watmath|utai|garfield}!dalcs!aucs!Peter BITNET: Peter@Acadia Internet: Peter%Acadia.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU

What kind of file server are you using (AppleShare etc)? On what computer does it run (Mac, Unix etc)? Apple's AppleShare does not log anything like this. -- Roland Mansson, Lund University Computing Center, Box 783, S220 07 Lund, Sweden Phone: +46-46107436 Fax: +46-46138225 Bitnet: roland_m@seldc52 Internet: roland_m@ldc.lu.se or roland_m%ldc.lu.se@uunet.uu.net UUCP: {uunet,mcvax}!sunic!ldc.lu.se!roland_m AppleLink: SW0022

It's a great package for a hostile student environment. Actually, it doesn't necessary solve the Namer problem. It only logs activity if the user has a MacJANET boot disk. Otherwise it oblivious to what's going on. -- Peter Steele, Microcomputer Applications Analyst Acadia University, Wolfville, NS, Canada B0P1X0 (902)542-2201x121 UUCP: {uunet|watmath|utai|garfield}!dalcs!aucs!Peter BITNET: Peter@Acadia Internet: Peter%Acadia.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU
