Short: Multi User System Security


Introduction
------------

  You've  got an Amiga with Kickstart 2.04 or higher and several people are
regularly  fooling  around  with it ...  Last week your sister deleted your
20MB JPEG collection by mistake and you don't want this to happen again ...
Well, here's the answer:  MultiUser!

  MultiUser allows you to create a *IX-like environment where several users
live  together  in  harmony,  unable to delete each others files, unable to
read  those  private  love-letters  of  other  users  ...  And this even if
several  users  are  working on the machine at the same time (on a terminal
hooked up to the serial port) ...

  You  are  the  sole user of your computer?  Well, make sure it stays that
way  by installing MultiUser!  People without a valid login ID and password
won't be able to access files you have made private with MultiUser.  If you
make  all  files  private  (not readable for others), the only useful thing
they could do, is boot from a floppy ...

  And ...  you do not have to reformat your hard drive!

Distribution
------------

MultiUser Release 1.8 is distributed in 3 archives:

   MultiUser18_bin.lha:   Basic MultiUser package (you really need this!)
   MultiUser18_api.lha:   Include files, autodoc, etc...
   MultiUser18_src.lha:   Source for the library and support commands

There  is  no  new  distribution of the external utilities; use the archive
from the 1.7 release: MultiUser17_ext.lha

For  more information about MultiUser (disclaimer, distributability, usage,
etc...),  read  the  documentation  file  'MultiUser.doc'  in  the  archive
'MultiUser18_bin.lha'.


Additional Note
---------------

Release 1.8 was compiled by Norbert Püschel with permission from Geert
Uytterhoven. (Geert is busy working on release 2.0. :-) )
