I wouldn't. IIRC, technically by doing what you say, with the best of intentions, you're breaking the law. All you need is some dickhead admin to realise he's been caught out, and try and pin it on you.

They'll learn, maybe, one day....

ha ha ... i have a few honeypo's arround to sniff user/pass for idiots, i use iptables to filter everything, squid to block offensive traffic heavily, but sniff every user/pass then send them a nice email when i get the time with their credentials :P i figure if they access stupid sites that can get me in trouble I might as well get them in trouble with a few e-mails from their accounts.

On sites that I have setup with wireless plug the AP in a linux boxen and only leave 1 port open for 3DES vpn, once authenticated they can access the wired network, better then PSK and radius imho. I leave the SSID on it's a waste of time turning it off so is MAC filtering.
