I'm sue this has been asked many times... Can anyone tell me the best way to make it so you can not use a Mac II unless you have the right password? Actually it would be enough if it would restrict access to the Hard Disk (including the system folder). The process should work even if someone uses thier own startup disk. I'm interested in any PD or commercial software or hardware solutions. -- Ray Johnson Internet: rjohnson@seas.gwu.edu Phone: (202)994-6853 The George Washington University

Where is it? BTW, a helpful netter mailed me the info that MacPassword is not particularly secure (i.e. any non-novice Mac user shouldn't have too much trouble defeating it). I'd still like to try it though, if I can find out where ti get it. -- Phil Etheridge (phil@waikato.ac.nz) /\ /\ -+-,--, .--, ._ Computer Services/Mathematics & Statistics / \/ \ / /--< /-- / University of Waikato, Hamilton, NZ. / \/ /__.) \_ /

I'd still like to try it though, if I can find out where ti get it. I submitted MacPassword 3.80 to sumex-aim.stanford.edu recently, so it should show up soon. Watch for and announcement in comp.sys.mac.digest soon. By the way, how do you break in? (HINT: That was probably the limited DEMO.) (ResEdit won't even get into the registered version with all the high security options turned on.)
