Summary: secure PCs


	The problem as I understand it is that you want to prevent users
from copying something from the hard disk of a PC ? 	The real problem
with a system like the IBM is that it will NEVER be secure unless the
hardware is secure. Unless you do something like encrypt the directories
and rewrite the boot block.(as WatchDog does)  How about providing some
physical security instead ?  Take the floppy drives out. :-)
