agree. Make it the policy that the first one caught doing something
illegal pays for the switches. That should do it. ;)
But another 'social' aspect to it no one mentioned so far is that most
probably people would hack system at their work only if they are not
satisfied with the administrators. Try to be nice to people, do not assume
they all want to screw up the system and give them some privliges --
that will make hacking unnecessary for them.
