Re: [q] multiple users setup for 8.1 or7.5?

[Stephen Alexander]

I may be off base but I think it must be doable. I suspect At Ease can 
be configured to handle that stuff because IIRC when I was in HS they 
locked down the machines with a fairly early version which we were not 
able to floppy-boot to get around... Again I can't be certain but if 
memory serves (it doesn't always of course, and this was some 12 or so 
yrs ago) this should be doable.

Anyway it bears experimentation.
Cheers,
Stephen

That has always been a disadvantage of At Ease. Once you have booted the
machine with another startup disk, you can go into the preferences folder,
and throw away At Ease Preferences. All your passwords and settings are then
gone, and anyone can reboot on the main disk without any passwords. I've
actually liked that feature, because I have bought old machines with At Ease
protection, and I was able to change the password that way! Anyway, I know
of no way to protect from that oversight with At Ease itself, though I
suppose other products could protect from it.

How crackable is At Ease if you just managed to boot
from an external device, bypassing the startup disk
using keyboard combinations? I am looking for a way to
password protect from prying eyes...
Also, since we are on the topic, what's the most
secure web browser for a quadra?
