There are a number of systems which encrypt the hard disk and only let you in
with the right password.

The one I have on my shelf is called Protec, from International Data Security
Inc. It gives you all the features of mainframe access control - different 
users restricted to different directories, audit trials, the whole treeful of 
pretty parrots.

I once evaluated it for a client; it seems to work OK (and was apparently 
first developed for the USAF). Now I use a Sun it's no good to me. What am I 
bid for the thing?
