Do you have any problem with running out of disk space while the software is
recording the information?  Also, would you use something like this to
monitor your kids?

I missed the podcast today due to a problem, but in listening to the
recording I haven't heard any discussion on web monitoring. We use Open DNS
on our public access, but our Internal network is not blocked at all.
However, we do use SpectorSoft monitoring software in stealth mode on every
system. Although it is run in stealth mode all employees are aware of it and
we tell all new employees we do monitor. Even laptops are recorded while off
the network and dumps to the DB on the next login, so we are protected even
with laptops of the network.

 

When we first installed it we found and avoided a situation that could have
damaged the ministry. I regularly get informed by users when something pops
by accident or a pastor has to do some research that could trigger it.

 

We have 50 users and have had no problems with this method. Any thoughts?

 

Sidelight. one incident was when I got a panic call from one of our female
child ministry leaders. She had googled breastplate while trying to research
roman armor and got some other stuff J
