[comp.sys.mac.misc] protecting LaserWriters

ffolliot@herald.usask.ca (Sheila ffolliott) (02/06/91)

    Here at the University of Saskatchewan, we would like to be able to protect
LaserWriters from unauthorised access.  We would like to set up certain zones
so that people outside the zones would not be able to get in to use their
resources, particularly the LaserWriters.  But we still want people inside the
zone to be able to get out to other zones' resources.  We are currently using
FastPath 4's, so any solution has to be compatible with them.  If you have any
good ideas about how to do page accounting for those people inside the 
protected zone, I'd be interested in those too (one lab here has CopyCards
on their laser printers, but it is only half an answer).

    Please mail or post your answers; I will summarize if there is enough 
interest.

Thanks
