[IP] more on Free Speech fading at UC Berkeley
Begin forwarded message:
UC Berkeley has implemented a set of minimum connection standards
for all devices attached to the campus network. Many UC campuses
(including UCLA) have followed suit. At Berkeley, these standards were
rolled out over a 14 month grace period. That grace period has just
ended. Nothing in this policy requires permission to receive TCP
connections, but it does require that connections be secure. If a
device must run an insecure protocol (such as telnet with clear-text
passwords), an exception to the policy must be requested. The policy
can be found at http://socrates.berkeley.edu:2002/MinStds/(note
especially Appendices A & B). This is the only new thing affecting the
campus as a whole that I could guess David Reed might be referring to.
I have heard that the Computer Science department has a more restrictive
policy of requiring registration of all web, email, and ftp servers;
otherwise inbound traffic is blocked by their firewall. However, I have
not been able to find a reference to this on the department's website.
Perhaps it is this departmental policy to which David Reed refers?
