The hard disk software SilverLining from LaCie will put passwords on disks and can make them read-only. The problem with this is that Macs don't work very well with write locked system volumes. (Some programs simply won't run.) Maybe you should instead use ResEdit (warning: dangerious program if you don't know what you are doing) and make the system folder invisible. You will still have to go around regularly and remove other stuff which will accumulate and also replace the system folder now and then, but the users will get a much nicer machine to use.
