I don't know how technically sophisticated your family is but I assume that your sister is not a cracker and your father not a Unix-guru. Denying them root access should be fully sufficient. This works fine with my family at least - everyone has his/her own account and may play at will. Even if they were root they wouldn't know how to damage something. :-) Anyways _if_ you'd like to have a fully secure system you'd have to think about preventing them from physically accessing the system which you are unlikely to have done. If they can turn off the machine they could damage the file system for example. Christoph
