To Campus Macintosh Lab Managers:

I am evaluating hard disk security packages to protect Macintosh hard disks 
in public access labs.  My concerns are:

  *  Protecting the disks from virus infection

  *  Protecting the installed system and software from corruption

  *  Preventing unauthorized users from storing data files

  *  Protecting applications from being illegally copied onto floppies

I have seen a number of packages here on the net: SecurInit, GuardDog, 
MacPassword, VolumeImage.  None of these seemed to do all that I want, 
although I am open to being persuaded otherwise.

I am interested in hearing the real-world experiences of lab managers with 
these or other products.  I'm sure that this is a commom problem, and I 
hope that someone has found a reasonable solution.

Please send email; I'll summarize to the net.

Thanks,
