We use MacPrefect from High Resolution.  It allows us to clamp down pretty
tightly what they can and cannot do.  I'm current evaluating FoolProof from
Smart Stuff Software too.  It is a little easier to use then Mac Prefect,
and seems to be working pretty well.

This topic comes up pretty regularly.  Is it archived or is a FAQ available?
