I am using darkside 3.0 on my appleshare 3.0 server.  I chose darkside
becuase I like being able to launch and quit it without rebooting.  The
fact that it modifies no traps is also a big plus.

I agreed completely until I upgraded to Appleshare3.0/System 7.  Now, if
you have physical access to the server, you can wander around it at will.
A password protected sceen saver restores the same level of privacy I had
with system 6 and appleshare 2.x. As an added bonus, I can securely leave
admin logged in.

I realize that a malicious type coiuld reboot the file server, but this would
cause my workstation to say "The server went away"., and I would be aware 
that this happened.  This is enough to stop anyone here with physical access.
