good start for the policy .. but it only covers say 10% of the
"email/web" policy that you'd need
more importantly, for each of those items, you will need to implement
a solution to perform that task and another solution to enforce
that rules and deal with violations of the rules/policy
i'm curious .. is this setup for home or work ??
if for work, its lacking .... if its for home ... it might be a good
start
how to implement those rules.... some are "free" and already part
of the distro ... other rules are user defined and you have to add
software/perl/xxx-apps to perform the tasks you specified
more important .... bad-boy-pete decides to bypass your rules ...
now what do you do ?? and how ???
-- the question/problem is that we cannot do those things for you ...
and i think if you want it solved, either youhave to sit
down and implement each fo those rules or hire someone
to implement your "policy rules" for you .. including
the other 90% of the rules you didn't mention
- backups, passwds, xxx content, you-been-hacked-now-what,
people walking out with PC, dhcp, wireless, ...
firewalls, routers, ... on and on ..
