Heres the deal, my school uses XP in one of its lab. They looked it down
tighter then virgin. All we can do is access the programs they put on their,
thats it. Or so they (the tech guys) thought.

3 weeks ago i was sitting in class and I got bored so I highlghted an icon,
pressed controll C, controll V, and made the following pattern on the desk top
X X XXX X
X X X X
XXX X X
X X X
X X XXX X (HI! incase you cant see it clearly)
Except not so slopy. Any way, the extra icons copied them self to EVERY
other computer on that certin network. Not the pattern, just all those extra
icons. Now the tech support guys brought it up with the school principle
saying what i did was "a risk to security" and that if i do ANY thing wrong
on a computer for the rest of the year I ant touch school computers for the
rest of the year! Does any one think that they are over reacting? That its
their own fault for setting up the network wrong? I dont think I did anything
wrong but they are acting like I installed a worm on the computer. "ctrl+c"
and "ctrl+v" to make the above pattern, and they think im some 1337 hacker or
something. Whats your view on this? Its just icons to a desktop they thought
they put read only on.

it's their lab, it has to serve all the students and is not there just for
your enjoyment. whether what you did was a security risk or not they make
the rules and you must follow them or be kicked out. consider it a lesson
learned, it gets tighter than that at some businesses where even trying to
get around security or change settings could get you fired.

Its the sysadmin’s problem really

Its so easy to disable CTRL-C or CTRL-V from the server that they
wouldn’t have this problem ever again.

I’m running FreeBSD and there is NOTHING on my network that doesn’t
happen without me knowing about it .
And what about permissions?
