(questionnaire) Dear reader, You are now reading the introduction to the "Privacy and Computers"- questionnaire. This questionnaire is meant to get an idea of what is generally considered as being appropriate for a system-manager with respect to privacy. That 'idea' will be described in a short report, that will be made available to the public (see below). Three means of distribution are chosen for this questionnaire: the authors will send it to known people by E-mail, it will be posted in several newsgroups and it is available by anonymous ftp. See below for more details. Everyone who works with a computersystem is invited to send in his/her response. You are encouraged to distribute the questionnaire to friends and colleagues. The more reactions the better! The authors prefer that you send your response by E-mail (see below). You can rely on their confidentiality. Headers are stripped of immedia- tely after receiving of the messages. However, if you don't like the idea of sending your responses by E-mail, you can also choose to return the form by Snail-mail (normal mail). In short: * E-mail to maas@dutiws.twi.tudelft.nl or holland@dutiws.twi.tudelft.nl (your mailheaders will be removed) * send it by Snail-mail to P&C Questionnaire PO Box 9512 1006 GA Amsterdam The Netherlands Please respond before June 27. Thanks in advance for your effort, Gerhard den Hollander, Frank Maas ----------------------------- AVAILABILITY of Questionnaire ----------------------------- * some people receive this questionnaire by E-mail * the questionnaire can be found in newsgroups alt.security, alt.hackers. alt.privacy, comp.unix.misc, comp.security. * until June 26th it will be available by anonymous ftp, on dutiws.twi.tudelft.nl [130.161.159.11], as /pub/privquest/quest HOW TO FILL IN THIS QUESTIONAIRE? Below you'll find questions which are preceded by the character 'Q' and a question number. If appropriate, you'll find below the question the possible answer options (preceeded by 'O' + question number). In any case, the last line will be an 'A' and the question number. Here you'll find the type of answer that is expected and you can fill in your answer. If you are replying by E-mail, it would be a great help if you delete the question- and option-texts (also those which you didn't answer) before returning your answers. ANSWER FORMAT '...' means an open answer (type as much as you want) '[.]' means a closed answer (type only the option) '[.|.|.]' means a closed answer (type all applicable options) E-mail repliers: don't bother filling in exactly between the '[]'-s, just type your answer behind the format. ___o/_______________________________________________________________________ O\ CUT HERE GENERAL QUESTIONS The questions about your personal situation are for pure statistical reasons only.

The system manager can, by means of tools, or just by examining the system on a regular base, monitor user actions. That is, (s)he can trace user actions. This can range from watching which programs are run to monitoring the keystrokes typed in. Q.U1 Do you regard such user monitoring an infringement of the privacy O.U1 (Y) Yes (N) No (A) Almost always (S) Sometimes A.U1 [.] If you are a System Manager, please go to Q.U4 Q.U2 Does your System Manager monitor user actions O.U2 Choose one of these: (Y) Yes (N) No (I) I don't know and one of these: (O) Everybody knows officially (U) Some know unofficially (N) Nobody knows A.U2 [.][.] Q.U3 Under which circumstances do you find it justified that a System Manager monitors user actions?

O.I1 (Y) Yes (N) No A.I1 [.] If you replied 'No' then you can go to the CLOSING section. Still, you are invited to reply to the next questions, since they are of a general nature. Again an explanation for the following questions. If you make a TCP/IP connection to another host (eg. if you rlogin to another host), that host can retrieve your original host ID. However, your identity is not known. A tool (pidentd) exists which enables the remote machine to retrieve your username. For the following questions, the running of this tool (and thus the providing of the information) is important. The use of that informati- on by the remote host lies beside the scope of this questionnaire. Q.I2 Is providing of this information an infringement of the privacy? O.I2 (Y) Yes (N) No (A) Almost always (S) Sometimes A.I2 [.] Q.I3 Should the users be informed if their systems provide this information? O.I3 (Y) Yes (N) No A.I3 [.] If you are a System Manager, please go to Q.I5 Q.I4 Does your system provide this information? O.I4 Choose one of these: (Y) Yes (N) No (I) I don't know and one of these: (O) Everybody knows officially (U) Some know unofficially (N) Nobody knows A.I4 [.][.] Go to the CLOSING paragraph Q.I5 Does your system provide this information? O.I5 (Y) Yes (N) No A.I5 [.] If you replied 'No' please go to the CLOSING paragraph Q.I6 Do your users know you provide this information? O.I6 (P) Yes, it is a well known Policy (S) Some users know this policy (U) Some of them do, unofficially (N) No A.I6 [.] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CLOSING Q.C1 Do you like to receive the results of this questionnaire? O.C1 (E) Yes, by E-mail (specify your E-mail address) (S) Yes, by Snail-mail (specify your address; letter will be send on RPP (Receiver Pays Postage) base (G) Yes, post it in a newsgroup (specify which group; the results will be posted if at least 20 requests are received) (N) No A.C1 [.] ... Q.C2 Does your company has a policy for Computers and Privacy? If so, could you summarize it here? A.C2 ... Q.C3 If you have any comments, things to add, other observations, etc. please note them here.

Mais plusieurs constatations nous sont venus a l'esprit: * Que signifient les commentaires etonnants en francais/anglais, citant meme le CERT (!), la justice, la police et un superbe "..." devant un tel service? D'apres nos sources, ces commentaires viendraient de Christophe Wolfhugel ou de Herve Schauer, grands "gourous" en la matiere. * Pourquoi le systeme a bien accepter l'heure incroyable de mon horloge qu' AT&T se fait un malin plaisir de ne pas regler (temps Unix - 1)? * Le transfert est superbe, mais le repertoire est en retard de plusieurs numeros au jour de l'interrogation! * Enfin, devant un transfert realise en moins de huit minutes, nous restons satisfaits... sauf que notre serveur lyonnais refuse de servir mon adresse AT&T pourtant bien lyonnaise et me retourne desormais une clause de non recevoir definitive. Alors, en exercice, je vous suggere de tester bitftp@pucc.princeton.edu ou mieux, le BITFTP@vm.gmd.de. Ils sont tous les deux aussi racistes sur les lyonnais utilisant AT&T.] ``` (o o) +-------------oOO--(_)--OOo---------------------------------------------+ | Herve Binda | | Ecole Nationale Superieure d'Electricite et de Mecanique | | 2 eme Annee ( filiere ISA ) | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | permanent email hbinda@ensem.u-nancy.fr | | temporarly email hebinda@nyx.cs.du.edu | | on IRC : CORWYN | | on MUDs : can't tell you 8-) | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------ End of Chaos Digest #1.58 ************************************
