Greetings, in partial answer to your question about Mac Security, I have
tried several different programs including At Ease, On Guard, and
Foolproof.  My students at a high school hacked through At Ease the first
day.  However, I understand Apple is coming out with a new program called
Administrators Toolkit or something like that with a beefed up version of
At Ease and a variety of network management tools; I plan on looking at it.
On Guard was very secure, very flexible, but in my experience also very
buggy.  I had to perform lots of maintenance using Norton Utilities; daily
unfortunately.  However, On Guard allows more flexible configuration than
either At Ease or Foolproof.  When I couldn't stand On Guard any more, I
switched to Foolproof.  Like On Guard, the kids were unable to get through
it.  But Foolproof does not allow the options of On Guard.  So where does
that leave you, I would wait and look at the new Apple product myself.

good luck
Mark
