We have agencies (our agencies) around our country and we connect the computers (our computers) to the main server through an ssh connection. We use this kind of connection for data booking exchange but also for remote control, self maintenance and for evaluating our employees job - because of the distance between agencies.
The "evaluating our employees job" using a stealth connection would be illegal in many countries (at least without a court order). I don't think you have a legitimate reason to do that, sorry.
This is irrelevant Regardless of whether it is illegal or not to evaluate the employees via a stealth connection, we the SLE users are not the judge, jury and executioner in being able to decide whether the Romanian should be offered help or not. It is the job of the authorities in that country to enforce their own rules, and asides just because something is illegal in the USA and Spain (sorry Carlos) does not mean that it is illegal in Romania. The basic question I do not think has yet been answered and I think with all the 'fluff' on it being illegal to help someone has departed from the subject. If you feel you can help the poster, then do so. If you are against offering help for whatever reason then there is always the delete key or email filters. I personally would help the Romanian as it shows the true spirit of open source if I knew how. As I do not, I am hoping that someone else will and therefore help me learn something as they would be helping the Romanian learn as well. Lighten up everybody. This is a list that provides help not that acts as the judge ,jury and executioner. -- The Little Helper ======================================================================== Hylton Conacher - Licenced ex-Windows user (apart from Quicken) Registered Linux user # 229959 at http://counter.li.org Currently using SuSE 9.0 Professional with KDE 3.1 ========================================================================
