The Dept. of Computer Sciences at the Univ. of Texas at Austin is reconsidering its policy on the kind of agreement each person requesting access to computer equipment and software in the dept. must sign. Some issues surround fair, ethical and proper use others surround disclosure and or duplication of licensed software. I would like to hear from other universities concerning what sorts of agreement they require student, faculty and staff to sign before allowing them access to computer equipment and software. ctp ----- Clyde T.

The group is creating a handbook to help sites develop their own security policies.. It's available via anonymous ftp from cert.sei.cmu.edu under the /pub/ssphwg. Look in the README file for more detailed info. This seems to be a good start in helping sites with such a sticky issue.
