I had a problem with CCP, tho, which made it fairly useless for me: I
enabled the "Require Boot Password" thing. Sure enough, it asked for a
password.  To check this out, I typed in the _incorrect_ password three
times to see the result.  The machine then booted normally, and the
boot password was removed permanently.  What?  Well, I dunno, but it
sure does not add to security.
