- !LockIt - Preventing Booting Without Using LockIt
- ============================================================================
-
- LockIt now includes the ability to disable the computer in the event of
- 'Shift' being held down during boot. This works by unplugging the
- InternationKeyboard module and then soft-loading it when LockIt is
- initiated.
-
- To do this, simply ensure that the command
-
- Unplug InternationalKeyboard
-
- is issued on each computer. This can be done by adding it to a boot file
- eg. the !Boot.Choices.Boot.Desktop file. It only has to be run once but
- the easiest method is to forcibly run it everytime.
-
- If LockIt is now not loaded for any reason, it will not be possible to use
- either the keyboard or mouse on the computer.
-
- Exceptions
- ----------
-
- This does not avoid a 'Delete' reset. If the delete key is held down
- during the POST check the CMOS will be reset and the locking will no
- longer take effect. If you have an A7000 it is possible to enforce the
- hardware CMOS lock (small jumper inside case) which will prevent this.
