This is easy.  Using ResEdit, open the DITL corresponding to the Chooser.  I
can't recall which one it is just now, but it's in the System file and is
something like -3999.  In any case, once you've opened that DITL find the 
text item that one would type the username into and change it from Editable Text
to Static Text.  Now, noone will be able to change it.  We use this at our 
public lab here at the U of M in conjunction with the AShareSponder INIT, which
stuffs the AppleShare sign-in name into the Choosername field at startup.  Now,
The username on all our lab access disks is always the same as the program they are using.
