Keil) Newsgroups: comp.sys.mac.apps Subject: any review of password apps? Keywords: password Message-ID: Date: 10 Apr 91 18:13:50 GMT Sender: usenet@agate.berkeley.edu (USENET Administrator) Distribution: usa Organization: University of California, Berkeley Lines: 13 Has anyone done a review of the various applications, screen savers and so forth that will prevent access to a Mac? I am particularly interested in the point of view of administrators, i.e. what is the least annoying/dangerous one to use. Users here are asking for something that will prevent others from seeing confidential files and/or from using the machine. My answer usually is "keep confidential stuff on floppy disks" but they're demanding more; my concern is not to use something that will be a fantastic headache when passwords are forgotten or when disks have problems. What suggestions can you give? -- Dana E. Keil Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics University of California, Berkeley dana@are.berkeley.edu
