Hi,

the computer rooms at my University came to my mind: There are students
who want to do their homework for the computer graphics lectures. If it
*is* possible to lock a machine for a longer time, they could lock up
machine by machine by accident and the computer room guidelines say that
it's forbidden to turn off/reset computers and the administrators aren't
around all the time. This could also be done intentionally to annoy
other users...

Another scenario could be an Internet cafe or so.

I don't care if I can or can not DoS myself on my own machine, but I see
a potential problem in multi-user environments. Maybe having the
possibility to adjust protection during run-time would be a "nice to
have" feature.

Kind regards - Fuddl
