True. I was looking at it from the point as to whether it
was ok for someone to do it at all, regardless of what thier motives
might be behind it or whether the network was secure enough to handle
it if someone did happen to do so. With our LAN for instance, we
don't enable or allow DHCP at all...everyone is on static IP
addresses. We're always having to track down conflicts though
because there's a small group within the building that think they can
do whatever they wish.
