Has anyone done a review of the various applications, screen
savers and so forth that will prevent access to a Mac?  I am
particularly interested in the point of view of administrators,
i.e. what is the least annoying/dangerous one to use. Users here
are asking for something that will prevent others from seeing
confidential files and/or from using the machine.  My answer
usually is "keep confidential stuff on floppy disks" but they're
demanding more; my concern is not to use something that will be
a fantastic headache when passwords are forgotten or when disks
have problems. What suggestions can you give?
