   Steve raised some of the issues we've been dealing with.
We are a Land Grant institution and outreach is a prominent
part of our avowed mission.

   If you want all access authenticated how do folks handle
brief or occassional visitors? Do they issue time restricted
temporary credentials? Do they have kiosks but require the
kiosk (or cyber cafe or whatever) provider to provide the
Internet access independent of the University network?

   In addition to Kiosks this issue comes up with wireless
LANs, public ethernet ports, and multiuse computer labs.
It would be interesting to hear some brief pointers on the
way you handle this.

   Marty
