We have just had a case where two students had behaved badly on the IRC (Internet Relay Chat). After failing to get in contact with the offenders, the system administrator decided that the right thing was to close down the entire IRC service. In this case due process instead of total dictatorical powers may have prevented that. The offenders probably got what they deserved, they where excluded, the problem was that everyone else was to. -- (Rmz) Bj\o rn Remseth Institutt for Informatikk Net: rmz@ifi.uio.no Phone: +472 453466 Universitetet i Oslo, Norway NeXTmail: rmz@neste.ifi.uio.no
