We are looking for some method to secure data on hard disks
in 2 different situation: 1. when you leave your office for a while;
2. Overnight.
The ideal solution would be for (1) is something that you could just type
a password (no incription) and leave. For (2) we would need something
that would not mount the hard disk until the password is given.
To solve (2) Nightwatch from Kent Marsh comes close, but
having to insert a disk every time you reboot is not great.
I also investigated MacSafe, Sentinel, Ncriptor. They all have drawbacks.
It is either time consuming, or every time you create a new file
you need to put it in the set.
 I also just heard of Disklock DA. I would appreciate any info about it.
Shareware HDPassword is of no use since if you boot from a floppy,
you can do anything you want with the hard disk w/o password.
Does anything exist that would solve either or both problems?
What do people use in office environment? Any advice would be grately
appreciated.
