firewall no not what I am going to do, but it does raise a few questions.
Say I did filtering at the firewall I would have to maintain a separate username/password database
then what is in active directory? If I used a radius server how can I sync active directory with a radius
server. How do I run a radius server anyways. I have thought about this before in the past and have
wondered about it.

As far as termination, well there is politics and legal issues that make termination difficult. The owners
would just rather remove it all together.

There is also another issue but this may be a topic for a different group. But what about joke email
filtering. I am totally against this but apparently this has been a problem in the past with this employee.
So they have asked me about joke email filtering for this employee only. We are upgrading to a
2003 exchange server in the very near future. What kind of filtering options are there for this situation?
