Hi,

I have a short question.  Is it possible to make a display on a machine secure
to input from other users on the same machine?  This is of course rather against the whole philosophy of being able to display anything anywhere, but we're
having probelms with certain users who start up software like Mongo, with it
configured for sunview ('cos of a 3/50 on the network belonging to a prof who can't/won't get into X) and that wipes out the screen on :0.  

Thanks all.
