We like it, but if you want to really be secure you need to basically get
rid of the File Manager. This (for us at least) makes disc management
difficult-- copying files, deleting files etc.

Our TAs found a way in, too.  They put a disk in the A drive that contains
a self-extracting archive.  They use Run to explode the archive.  The
archived program, once inside the system, is designed to defeat Fortress
from whithin.


Fortunately, few people are willing to go that far...
