Educational Install: Security v. operability
by Will Paicius · in Torque Developer Network · 11/26/2006 (9:00 pm) · 1 replies
Howdy,
Ohlone College have just bought 10 Full development seats, but we cannot install them. It seems that our approach to security is opposed to using Torque and related products. I expect that other schools and even companies have addressed this situation before, and that a best practice exists. So, Please tell me your ideas on solving our security (students save their work on Flash drives only) v. Torque (nothing happens if you can't write files, code, etc.
Thanks for good ideas or even sympatico encouragement.

It's also likely your only viable option ... Torque relies on the current directory being set to where all the scripts/data is, and since the students can only write there then that's where they'll be editing stuff.
You can get Torque to run from a read-only directory pretty easily, but like I said, that doesn't help your students actually do their work ;)
