Reply-To: d88-eli@nada.kth.se (Erik Liljencrantz) Distribution: world Organization: Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden Keywords: security locking control-c Disabling Control-C can be done in many ways as discussed in previous messages (not qouted here). My solution is a devicedriver included in CONFIG.SYS, which captures control before AUTOEXEC.BAT is read. The device driver prompts for a password and if it's correct the devicedriver unloads most of itself and booting continues. It's not a complete login/ password system like in Un*x, but it keep intruders (without their own bootdisks) away. It is IMPOSSIBLE to boot from the harddisk without the password, but again, a dosdisk can be used... If someone would like a copy (including assembly source) please mail me, and I'll send an uuencoded arc-file! Erik Liljencrantz | "No silly qoutes!" d88-eli@nada.kth.se | Embraquel Tuta
