Ubuntu in the University: dangerous installed applications?

[Daniel Allen]

Hi,

We've deployed a set of Ubuntu servers to act as X11 servers in a university
setting for Computer Science students.

It's come up that... some of the packages that are installed by default
probably shouldn't be, both by policy and to reduce undergrads'
opportunities for mischief.  Right now we're looking at netcat and
bittorrent.  Suggestions for other mischief tools? (Yes, I know this could
be a loaded question based on definitions- we're not removing ssh or
firefox, obviously. I'd prefer keeping this discussion to specific packages
that are high or reasonably high risk for abuse by crafty students; from
these, we can select the minimal number to remove to reduce the greatest
amount of headache for us admins.  Thanks.)
