No, it (generally) stays off - the exception being that I always get an
AppleShare error on bootup with Location Manager set to my 'no network
present' and 'AppleShare off' settings, but it's fine if I boot with
network present and then switch LM once it's up.

No, but I understand now from Paul that the owner /always/ has access, no
matter what the settings say.

Good idea.

I seem to be ending up default IT manager here by virtue of knowing more
