  12. >something about how hard it is to get around fileguard
  13.  
  14. Actually, it's pathetically easy to get around fileguard, because it
  15. doesn't disallow read-access from non-finder programs. I haven't tried
  16. to change stuff, but copying is definitely possible.
  17.  
  18. Maybe if they enforced application-specific access to applications,
  19. (ie: only the finder, system, and the application itself can access
  20. the app) FileGuard would be better...but they don't.
