I know - I could sniff for that kind of activity before we started 
though couldn't I?  Also I could install a firewall between them and the 
rest of the network which only allows certain ports and then only allows 
established/related connections - of course that won't work if the 
clandestine software is installed on the union machines.  I'm beginning 
to think that they should terminate the support contract with management 
and just go with another company (Dan Enterprises? :) ) but that means 
that they won't have access to the council network which I think they 
need for something.  (I'm not sure what - I'll know on saturday when I 
see them)
