Re: [Freedos-user] Do FreeDOS need a password program?

Well, I would be okay with the idea of donating the password program w/ source to the FreeDOS distro if you like, let me know. I supposed it should be reviewed to be sure of its function properly under FreeDOS. I would not prefer the MBR or even boot sector way of installing such progra

[Freedos-user] Do FreeDOS need a password program?

Hi all, How many of you are using (or wish using) a password program preventing strangers to run FreeDOS on your machine? I ask that, because personally I am using such program, and if there is more people having that need, it would be good to think about adding an utility like that into FreeDO
