besides. I don't see how you can dynamically load an external anyway,

if you are loading them by script in a preopenstack or open stack
handler, then how will you ever activate them?
Trevor Devore taught me this method, and I've used it ever since for
dynamic loading of externals:
I forgot I'd made a Tips page at my site about this:

Trevor, Ken... thank you! It works!
Andre: FYI your libKiosk.bundle has some parts "crippled" under Leopard.
In theory even the option for keyboard combo + power key to shut down
the machine should be disabled-- under Tiger using your same library, it
was.... I could *not* shut down the machine if your external was loaded
in Tiger. But, I can now... not a big deal... I don't think too many
users will be trying to hack the box and I will have my app set to be
booted on start up, so we are pretty safe. In the current location the
users are in plain view, hacking is unlikely. Later we may have a Kiosk
in a location where someone might be able to stand there for a long time
unobserved...
Worst case scenario is still not too serious: they could hold cmd-S on
start up and boot into the terminal, but still not much they could do
from there, as the Kiosk node on the LAN has very little access to
anything... I don't know if, in the Kiosk world, hackers try to break
into an use these machines or not... My only experience is TV hype where
some aggressive nefarious brainy kids might try to break into the US Gov
missile dBase from our Kiosk and start World War III by accident...but
somehow that seems a bit far fetched... still they could ssh out from
terminal to Mars and call the aliens to earth...I might be able to get
our net admin to block those outgoing protocols in the firewall for this
one box, but it's a nuisance for him... How far do you Kiosk pros go in
closing up security holes like this?
