Hi All,
We have about 800 odd student Macs at our school. The majority are managed, the rest will be added slowly.
We are having students creating ad-hoc wireless networks, many with inappropriate names and I'm worried about the security aspects. I can see these popping up all day in the list of available wireless networks.
Is there any way to either
1) use a piece of software to associate the current wifi network name with a MAC Address (or IP address or even better a machine name), or
2) add a setting in the workgroup to disable the ad-hoc network creation?
I can't see any reason to allow the ad-hoc networks, but am not necessarily keen on locking things down too tight. I'd rather chat with those involved and educate them on the proper usage.
I have tried nscan but couldn't get it to show me the available wireless networks list... Is there some other piece of software which might do this for me?
Thanks heaps in advance.
Cheers,
Chris.
