This may be more appropriate in another forum, but...

We have three networks of Mac SEs and a handfule of Pluses.  Every once in
awhile, some wiseacre decides he's gonna have some fun with us and reformats
the drive and installs a minimal system on it.  Is there currently a SCSI
driver that, once installed, will prevent this without a password?
	What I am looking for is:

		Driver level
		Only requires a password if user boots from floppy or
			tries to erase the hard drive
		Shreds the floppy if password is wrong after a
			operator-selectable number of times

Does such a beast exsist?  If not, how difficult would it be to implement?  If
it does, where can I get it, and how much will it cost me?

Thanks very much in advance!

Don't look at me in that tone of voice!  BSU disclaims me, and I disclaim them.
