The only times I have seen a proctor take interest in
anyone's configs in all three of my lab attempts so
far were when one of us taking the lab requested
assistance with something.
As far as them spying on your configuration
activities, I do not believe this to be true either.
VNC was loaded on the machine, but I never saw it
light up, either. And I use netstat periodically to
monitor my machine - just like at work, if I suspect
something taking away my CPU cycles, I look for it.
Howard and the other guy are typically talking amongst
themselves, working on something, or walking around a
bit doing whatever it is proctors do day after day of
helping facilitate out labs.
They seem professional to me. They have been mostly
polite and for my questions were helpful.
When I was given the wrong the lab, I was given lunch
and 1 hour to make it up to me.
When I got hit with the worm (only a minute and a
reboot later), Howard hopped over the desk and ran to
assist me and stayed to ensure things came back up
properly.
My last lab everything worked as advertised.
So... not sure who you got or the circumstances...
But I've seen no fault from the guys proctoring at RTP
yet.
The guy next to me thought he found a bug or something
and a proctor was at his console looking in it by
request of the guy taking his lab.
But no foul play - I was busy but it seemed he was
being helpful and both listening and working at the
same time to the candidate.
