- Hello fellow Acorn Peeps,
-
- Having been the victim of a theft this weekend I would like to take further
- steps to protect my computer system from being "useful" in the event of it
- being pinched.
-
- Therefore, does anyone out there have any useful tips/programs etc ... I could
- talk to him/her about???
-
- What I have done is put a file in a sub-directory, given it a filename of
- ASCII 160 and given it a "blank" filetype.
- Within this file I have put in my name and telephone/email details.
-
- Also I have implemented in my boot up script a check for a particular file - if
- it exists then a passwd program comes up but it is not very safe as it allows
- access to the command line via F12.
-
- Could someone mail me with hints, details, code etc....
-
- I read somewhere (not so long ago) about someone poking his CMOS RAM with
- personal details.
-
-
-
- Thanks for your help,
-
- Jayce.
