 I have a question about security on an A3000UX. Could an ingenious user 
write a device driver that would mount one of the Unix partitions under
amiga dos? This would allow any user to go up to a UX machine, reboot it
under amiga dos and then change ANY files he so chooses! If the device
driver was written properly he could also change protection on any of the 
files as well!

Could this be done?
