I would refuse to do it on ethical/moral/religious grounds and would sue to
the wall any company that terminated my employment because I would not involve
myself in the constant monitoring of colleagues traffic. I accept that in
an emergency there has to be a time when the needs of the many outweigh the
needs of the few, but what was suggested shows disrespect for all involved.
The hardest part is when does protecting the company become abuse of those
inside it?
The ethical arguements probably belong in another forum, being more
philosophical than technical in nature. Firewall administrators should
however be aware of the the issues invovled for their own education and
protection.
Cheers,
Mark
