Is there a way to restrict access to the System Folder on a Mac II* ?  We
have several of these machines which are for student use.  It seems that 
the contents of the System Folder change from day-to-day.  It would be nice
to allow the students access to the machine but deny access to the System
Folder.  Any suggestions?

We are currently using DiskLock, but that doesn't really address this problem.
Once someone gets past the password, the System Folder is still vulnerable.  
DiskLock has a folder locking mechanism, but it does not work on the System
Folder.

How 'bout it?

Peace,
