I am involved with the management of labs with ethernet connected
MS-DOS PCs. These machines are difficult to manage without
effective security access software in place. Ideally I would like
to use a NON-DOS Boot Partition to give access to a read-only partition
and perhaps a writable partition as well.

Has anyone treid something like this or tried any commercial programs?

By controlling the startup I hope up be able to require a log on process
to a Unix host for printer accounting. Has anyone tried this?

Any information would be greatfully received.
