Our library staff is looking for a free, shareware, or inexpensive
commercial security program to use on a publicly-accessible IIci running
6.0.7.  (For various reasons, they prefer not to upgrade to 7.x.)  At
Ease is not acceptable, primarily because it allows non-authorized users
to open files from within applications such as Microsoft Word.  They've
received some information on a program called  "Mac Secure" (from
Learning Performance Corporation of Minneapolis).  Does anyone have any
comments (positive or negative) on this product, or recommendations for
other software that would keep inexperienced users from mucking with the
System folder, changing the settings in the Chooser, Control Panel, etc?
