   My experiences were less positive, but I can't really fault the software. 
   After using Nightwatch for several months with no problem, something went
   wrong.  I'm not sure if the hard disk had a problem or perhaps I stumbled
   on a problem with Nightwatch.  In any case, the disk never showed up to the 
   Nightwatch program.  And with that, there was nothing I could do.  None of
   my other programs (such as SUM) were any good, since the disk was still
   "locked" by Nightwatch and couldn't be accessed.  I ended up reinitializing
   the disk and restoring from my backup (God bless DiskFit!).  I never
   tried to figure out what went wrong and I no longer use Nightwatch.

How about !MacPassword??  It is Shareware and sounds like it works
like Nightwatch.  I am trialing it out and it works great!!  Has
master password and also allows guest limited use.

It's available via Educorp CD-ROM.
