There's a certain security usefulness (which needs to be balanced against issues of morale and trust...) to letting users think you're monitoring them more than you can really afford to. But when you say
monitoring users activities off the the network
AND
and we don't want them to think with this program we are monitoring what they doing.
well, that basically sounds like entrapment, or worse. Perhaps I (or you?) have misunderstood the purpose of this exercise? Dave Gillett
