A web search turned up a vulnerability with the [EMAIL PROTECTED] project and
10.2.1 but nothing else?

It took a lot of digging to find:
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106482&SaveKCWindowURL=http%
3A%2F%2Fkbase.info.apple.com%2Fcgi-bin%2FWebObjects%2Fkbase.woa%2Fwa%2FSaveK
CToHomePage&searchMode=Assisted&kbhost=kbase.info.apple.com&showButton=true&
randomValue=100&showSurvey=false&[EMAIL PROTECTED]|165

Plus, it's not overly secure and I have a feeling that pushing the little
button at the back (PRAM reset?) will bypass that security feature ;). But,
it does keep casual browsers at bay. Wow, Apple makes some pretty
unsecurable computers.
