Re: Problems with flash drives

Our policy is that if it plugs in and works, they can use it. We will
not install software or drivers for personal or transient hardware on
shared systems. For one thing, they tend to fight if you have too many
of them, and for another, everything we do to one has to be done to
the others.

I have seen a few devices that do not recognise pre-existing network
drives and try to occupy the same drive letter. So far the encryption
issue has not come up, but I will take this as a warning.
