I am after a direct clarification. If you will note at the bottom of all these quoted messages, Austin quotes my statement that I assume other OSes must be registered too. He responded with laughter. His response implies to me that "non-*nix" OSes don't need to be registered. I want to know if my understanding of the implied meaning is correct.
I agree with you that all computers on the network should be regitered and known. The university should control access to the network. I just want to know if they are being dumb, as Austin implies, and only require *nix OSes to register.

registered or the admin is a fool.

Let me understand...
Supposed I am a graduate student and I have need to use a computer in my
engineering research at an ASU lab somewhere.
If I bring in my old 233MHz computer with the original, un-patched Windows
98 installed on it and connect it to the school network I DON'T have to
register it? But if I have the latest Red Hat Linux on it, fully patched and
secured, I HAVE to register it?
