Yes, Apple refers this behavior to be a feature. I refer to it as a pain in
my ass. What little security we *were* able to do... and they take it away
with the flip of the power switch. Thank you Apple for making my job
tougher. 

I ended up having to throw in papif code to rename/retype (with some name
guessing) the Laserwriter should it not respond to what it *should* be
named/typed... What a hack.
