I mean, I love this workplace, the company is great, but the senior IT dude just seems to have some kind of fear that if anyone else gets access to the tools, he will become useless and get replaced.

FireSight posted:Sorry, I should have been more specific. I was hoping there was something we could install that would point to one of our servers to get updates, so we could update the list here and all the remote people would have their list update automatically. Get some endpoint security software that can enforce content filters. I like the Sophos cloud offering, and it's a reasonable price.

Casper is the best platform manager for the Mac and could totally do what you need it to do if your guy could be bothered to actually do it.

Yeah, I've actually downloaded the Casper manual so I can just say "Look, here is how to set this up, we just push a new hosts file when we have updates. Boom. Done."

OpenDNS is super easy DNS filtering, great for remote users as well. Although I have some concerns that we'll see price hikes now that they've been acquired by Cisco.

Well, a job that I interviewed with that I would love to have until I can get down to Florida just contacted me for the next step. They want 5 references. I sure hope they'll take three, and only two from an IT job.

Open DNS umbrella can do this with the roaming client. It filters out malware, adware and other categories you set and you can make a company wide deny list also. For all of the computers in the office you can just update the dns forwarding without installing software on each computer.

And I really wish it was possible to get 4:3 or 5:4 screens with resolutions that don't smell like 2002. Something like 2048x1536 maybe. I'd probably prefer 3 of those to 2 widescreens with similar total resolution.
