- Many of the teachers at our school use a shareware/freeware? app that you
- hookup with set startup (on system 6.0.x) and you keep it on your desktop
- and dblclick on it when you are goign to leave you mac. When it boots up
- (on startup, or when you dblclick it) it asks for a password to return to
- the finder. This would work for -inexperienced- users. But Was able to
- break in by holding command-period on startup and thus aborting the
- set-startup thing. I dunno if this is sufficient for you. I'll have to go
- find the name. Also, it is even easier to crack on system seven (if you
- were to switch) because it -is- and application, and thus can be forced to
- quit with the "command-option-escape" key combo.
