I'm going to be doing a data base application (on a MAC II) and I'm looking 
for software that will prevent uninvited folks from getting on the machine and 
accidently (or on purpose) blowing away my work.  Since I spend most of my time 
in the IBM clone world, I don't know that much about MAC protection.

I can already password protect a normal cold start from the harddisk.  I'm more 
concerned about what to do to prevent someone bringing their own system disk 
and booting from it.  Is it even possible to prevent it with software?

I don't read this group often, so I'd appreciate replies being sent directly to 
me.

Thanx in advance for any ideas or suggestions.

ps.  I'd put my email address here if I had any idea what it was!
